Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2009 Dec;47(8):638-40. doi: 10.1016/j.bjoms.2008.11.007. Epub 2009 Jan 7.

Abstract

An adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) is a well-recognised benign tumour that enlarges slowly. We report here the rare occurrence of two separate tumours in the anterior maxillary region that have not been documented previously. They were associated with unusual findings such as relatively large size, a supernumerary tooth, rapid growth with cortical perforation, and multilocular appearance with root resorption on plain radiograph.
