Question. Write a short note on adenomatoid odontogenic tumor.

Answer.

Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor

It is also called adenoameloblastoma or ameloblastic adenomatoid tumor.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is uncommon, well-circumscribed, odontogenic neoplasm characterized by the formation of multiple duct-like structures by neoplastic epithelial cells.

Clinical Features Of Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor

• Tumor usually occurs at a younger age.
• Females are more commonly affected
• Lesions most typically appear in the maxillary anterior region.
• Tumor presents a slow-enlarging, small, bony, hard swelling in the maxillary anterior region.
• Sometimes, it occurs in the premolar region
• There is displacement of regional teeth, mild pain, and expansion of cortical bones.

Histopathology Of Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor

• Microscopically, adenoid odontogenic tumor reveals neoplastic odontogenic epithelial cells, proliferating in multiple “duct-like” patterns.
• The presence of these duct-like structures often gives a glandular lesion.
• Each duct-like structure is bordered on the periphery by a single layer of tall columnar cells that resemble ameloblastoma.

Odontogenic Tumors Quiz Questions

• Lumen of duct-like structures is filled with the homogenous eosinophilic coagulum.
• Small foci of calcifications are often seen, which are scattered throughout the lesion.
• Droplets of amorphous (PAS-positive) eosinophilic material are found between neoplastic cells.
