Our article reports the case of a adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) associated with an upper permanent central incisor, previously diagnosed as dentigerous cyst.the condition is a slow-progressing and nonmalignant epithelial tumor. Specifically, it mentions that it is an Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT). The clinical features of AOT are outlined, including its association with impacted teeth or, in the absence of impacted teeth, it presents as painless, bony expansion and facial asymmetry due to the growth of the lesion. A 16?year?old female patient presented to the Department of ENT with a chief complaint of swelling on the upper left side of the face that had been present for 2 months. The patient underwent a surgical procedure, specifically a Caldwell luc operation and left medial maxillectomy with Denker's technique.
