Abstract
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) has a limited biological profi le and been
an attention-grabbing tumor for a century for its origin. Though described earlier,
it was widely accepted after Harbitz from Norway reported about this uncommon
benign tumor in 1915. There has been a long debate as whether this tumor is
a hamartoma or a neoplasm. Here, we present a case of AOT in a 20-year-old
female with details of clinical, radiological and histological features along with
clear cell changes, signifying AOT to be more aggressive in nature than assessed
from earlier literature. Thus, we did an extensive search of PubMed literature
on AOT with all its histopathological features associated until date to fi nd the
report of clear cell changes yet.
