Online published on 23 June, 2015. Abstract Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour is an uncommon tumour of odontogenic origin with relative frequency of 2.2–7.1%. It is benign non invasive lesion with slow but progressive growth. As the histogenesis is still uncertain, it is sometimes regarded as hamartomatous lesion rather than a true neoplasm. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour which accounts for 1% to 9% of all odontogenic tumours, is predominantly found in young and female patients, located more often in the anterior maxilla, and in most of the cases associated with unerupted permanent tooth. This report illustrates an unusual case of Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour seen in anterior mandible. Top Keywords Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour, mandible, hamartomatous lesion, odontogenic tumours.
