ResumoExtrafollicular adenomatoid odontogenic tumors are less common than are those of the follicular type, which account for 75% of such lesions and involve the crown of an unerupted tooth. This epithelial neoplasm has a striking tendency to occur in the anterior region of the jaws and is largely limited to younger patients. A 15-year-old male patient was referred to a stomatology clinic with a radiolucency located between the roots of teeth #11 and #12, causing their divergence. A painless, expansive lesion was found, accompanied by negative results on tests of pulp sensitivity. The patient reported that he had noticed the lesion many years earlier. After incisional biopsy, the definitive diagnosis was adenomatoid odontogenic tumor. Total enucleation of the lesion was performed. Aggressive behavior has not been documented for adenomatoid odontogenic tumors. At 6 months of follow-up, the patient showed good healing and bone remodeling in the affected region.
