  abstractNote={<jats:p>Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour, truly coined as one of the masters of disguise of orofacial pathologies, was first reported in the literature by Steen Lands.1 Philipson and Brin used the terminology adenomatoid odontogenic tumour for this pathology with its commonly accepted abbreviation AOT.2 Later on, adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) name was accepted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1971. In 2005, WHO revealed the histological variants of the adenomatoid odontogenic tumour and classified it as a tumour comprised of odontogenic epithelium showing various patterns in histopathologic view within a mature connective tissue stroma.3 It is seldom noticed neoplasm which comprises only 3 % of all the odontogenic tumours. It was commonly found in the maxilla with female predilection and mostly in association with impacted canines.4-6 Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour is an odontogenic epithelial tumour usually seen in females in their second decade of life. The tumour is slow growing in nature which eventually results in painless expansion of jaw. The maxilla is commonly affected than mandible. Being benign in nature, most of the AOT cases usually got treated with conservative surgical enucleation but the greater size of tumour can leave behind an oro-facial defect. To prevent such type of incident, it is important to diagnose them early and treat accordingly. Herewith, we are presenting a case report of adenomatoid odontogenic tumour of mandible in a male patient.</jats:p>},
