Abstract

The case of an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor developing over a dentigerous cyst is reported. A 12-year-old boy was referred by his pediatric dentist to the service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Asturias Central Hospital (Spain) for evaluation of a radiolucent image compatible with a dentigerous cyst. Microscopic examination revealed the presence of an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor located over the linear epithelium of a dentigerous cyst. Based on the literature, the clinico-pathological, diagnostic, radiological and therapeutic characteristics of the case are commented in detail.
