Adenomatoid Odontogenic tumor is an uncommon tumor of odontogenic origin, characterized histologically by formation of duct like structures by epithelial component and amyloid-like deposits′. Adenomatoid Odontogenic tumor accounts for about only 0.1 % of tumours and cyst of the jaw and 3% of all odontogenic tumours 2 . Adenomatoid Odontogenic tumor has a benign behaviour and conservative surgical enucleation is sufficient and the prognosis is excellent 3 . A unique case of Adenomatoid Odontogenic tumor in the mandible is discussed herewith.
