Abstract
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a relatively uncommon distinct odontogenic neoplasm. It is rightfully called as 'Master of Disguise' and 'perfect imitator of dentigerous cyst'. It has three well recognized clinicopathological variants and has been described as "two thirds Tumor" because it occurs in maxilla in about two third cases, about two third cases arise in young females, two third cases are associated with unerupted tooth and two third affected teeth are canines. An unusual case of follicular adenomatoid odontogenic tumor of the mandible associated with two impacted teeth is presented here.
