AI Article Synopsis
- The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare type of jaw tumor, making up about 0.1% of jaw tumors and 3% of odontogenic tumors, as highlighted in this review.
- The case study discusses a 13-year-old boy who had a painless swelling in the left maxilla, which was diagnosed through imaging and treated successfully by enucleation and bone grafting.
- It emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis using clinical, radiographical, and pathological methods to distinguish AOT from other conditions for effective management.
Article Abstract
Background: The AOT is an atypical tumor of odontogenic origin that comprises about 0.1% of jaw tumors and cysts as well as up to 3% of odontogenic tumors (OTs).
Aim And Objective: This review describes the clinical, radiographical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical properties of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) and reports an occurrence of an AOT in a boy, 13 years of age.
Case Description: A male, 13 years of age, presented with a swelling with respect to the left maxilla, painless, and with obvious facial asymmetry. The orthopantomogram and computed tomography scan revealed a large unilocular radiolucency in the left maxilla with permanent lateral incisor embedded within the lesion and permanent canine pushed away from its normal position. After complete enucleation of the cyst under local anesthesia and extraction of associated impacted permanent teeth and retained deciduous teeth related to the lesion, the defect was filled with a bone graft and closed. Postoperative follow-up was uneventful.
Conclusion: An accurate diagnosis should be established through clinical, radiographical, and pathological correlations in order to be able to differentiate AOT from other conditions for early diagnosis.
Clinical Significance: This report highlights the salient features of the AOT to be able to correctly diagnose and manage the lesion.

Objectives: Histone modification in odontogenic lesions is mostly unexplored. Trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine residue 9 (H3K9Me3) has been studied in various pathologic conditions and showed biological significance promising for future therapeutic application. This study aimed to investigate the level and clinical relevance of the H3K9Me3 histone modification in odontogenic cysts and tumors.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of p300, H2AacK5 and H3AcK27 in Odontogenic Cysts and Tumors.

The acetylation of histones H2A on lysine 5 (H2AacK5) and H3 on lysine 27 (H3AcK27) modulate several cellular mechanisms through the p300 enzyme in pathological lesions; however, their role in odontogenic lesions has not been addressed. This study aims to evaluate the immunoexpression of p300, H2AacK5, and H3AcK27 in samples of ameloblastoma (AMB) (n = 30), odontogenic keratocyst (OK) (n = 15), adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) (n = 10), odontogenic fibroma (OF) (n = 8), calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) (n = 8), odontogenic myxoma (MIX) (n = 10), and ameloblastic fibroma (AF) (n = 06). The percentage of p300-positive cells was higher in AOT and decreased in COC, OK, AMB, AF, OF, and MIX.

Article Synopsis
- Adenoid ameloblastoma (AA) is a rare but locally aggressive benign tumor derived from dental tissue remnants, and it was recently classified as a new type of odontogenic lesion by the WHO in 2022.
- This tumor behaves more aggressively than similar types, presenting as a painless jaw swelling with a high recurrence rate and local invasiveness, and exhibits unique histopathological features such as a cribriform pattern and differential marker expression.
- Due to its complex nature and unclear origins, AA requires thorough clinical evaluation and customized treatment approaches to manage recurrence and improve patient outcomes, with the latest research contributing to its understanding post-classification.
Immunohistochemical analysis of p53 and p63 in selected odontogenic cysts and tumours.

Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad, Karnataka, India.
Background: It is a well-recognized fact that abnormal cell proliferation plays a crucial role in the development of odontogenic lesions. p53 is a tumour-suppressor gene which assists in cell cycle regulation and p63 is a homolog of p53 responsible for ectodermal differentiation and maintenance of stratified epithelial progenitor-cell. Analysing the tissue expression of p53 and p63 in odontogenic lesions may provide us with an insight into their potential role in the development of these lesions.
