선양 치성 종양(adenomatoid odontogenic tumor)은 악골에 드물게 발생하는 치성 기원의 종양이다. 이전에는 법랑모세포종(ameloblastoma)의 한 종류로 여겨졌으나 양성이며 재발되는 경우는 극히 드물다. 상악 견치에 호발하며 대개는 무증상이지만 크기가 천천히 커져 무통성 종창을 일으킬 수 있다. 방사선학적으로 함치성 낭종(dentigerous cyst) 및 단방성 법랑모세포종(unicystic ameloblastoma)과 매우 유사하다. 일반적으로 보존적인 소파술(curettage) 및 적출술(enucleation)을 통해 치료한다. 본 증례는 하악 우측 측절치 미맹출을 주소로 내원한 10세 여자 환아에서 방사선 사진 검사를 통해 치아의 매복 및 병소를 확인하고 적출술을 시행하였다. 치아에는 브라켓을 부착하여 교정적 정출을 유도하였다. 조직학적 검사를 통해 선양 치성 종양으로 확진되었으며 양호한 치료 결과를 보였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumors represent 3 to 7 percent of all odontogenic tumors. These tumors are more common in the maxilla than the mandible and usually include the anterior region. Clinically, the most common symptom is painless swelling and the tumor is associated with an unerupted tooth, typically a maxillary or mandibular cuspid. The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor appears radiographically as a unilocular radiolucency around the crown of an impacted tooth, resembling a dentigerous cyst. More often, it contains fine calcifications. Histopathologically, there is a thick wall cystic structure with a prominent intraluminal proliferation of the odontogenic epithelium. The most striking pattern is varying-sized solid nodules of spindle-shaped or cuboidal epithelial cells forming nests or rosette-like structures with minimal stromal connective tissues. Conspicuous within the cellular areas are structures of tubular or duct-like appearance. The duct-like spaces are lined with a single row of cuboidal or low columnar epithelial cells, of which the ovoid nuclei are polarized away from the luminal surface. Small foci of calcification may also be scattered throughout the tumor. These have been interpreted as abortive enamel formations. In some adenomatoid odontogenic tumors, the material has been interpreted as dentoid or cementum.

The present report describe the surgical therapy, clinical course, orthodontic treatment and morphological characteristics of an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor in the maxilla of an 11-year-old patient. The cystic tumor filled the maxillary sinus and involved a tooth. Marsupialization was accompanied by partial enucleation and applied traction to the affected tooth by a fixed orthodontic appliance. Healing was uneventful and no local recurrence was observed during a 1-year period of follow-up control.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) usually presents as a unilocular, pericoronal radiolucency in the maxillary anterior region in adolescent females. Very few conditions occur in such a narrow age range and at such a restrictive site. Rarely, these tumors present with varied clinical features. A case of AOT of the mandible is reported with unusual features such as large size, multilocular appearance, and aggressive behavior. The role of radiology in diagnosis of atypical AOT is extremely important. The unique radiological manifestations of the lesion helped in the diagnosis, and it was managed conservatively with no evidence of recurrence.

Purpose : 1. Retrospectively evaluate the accuracy of tentative diagnosis or impression from the clinico-radio-graphic materials of jaw lesions which showed mixed lesions associated with teeth. 2. To observe the diagnostic importance of the calcified part of the lesions which appear as radiopaque areas. Materials and Methods: 14 cases of jaw lesions which showed mixed lesions associated with teeth were reviewed. These lesions were mostly diagnosed as adenomatoid odontogenic tumors (6 cases) or calcifying odontogenic cysts with (4 cases) or without odontomas (4 cases). The calcified elements of the lesions which demonstrated various sizes and patterns of radiopaque shadows resembled odontoid tissues in some cases but could not be defined in some other cases radiographically. Results : The final histopathologic diagnosis confirmed adenomatoid odontogenic tumors in 4 of the 6 cases. The remaining 2 cases turned out to be odontoma and ameloblastic fibroodontoma. The 4 cases of calcifying odontogenic cysts with odontomas were correct in 3 cases but remaining 1 case was just odontoma. The 4 cases of calcifying odontogenic cysts were proved to be odontogenic keratocyst, calcified peripheral fibroma, unicystic ameloblastoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion : The diagnostic accuracy of the adenomatoid odontogenic tumors and calcifying odontogenic cysts were high when the lesions show typical appearance. The calcifications which show radiopaque areas could be odontomas or dystrophic calficifations or remnants of bone fragments from resorption.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor that predominantly appears in the second decade of life in female patients. Most AOTs occur in the anterior part of the maxilla and are usually associated with impacted anterior teeth. There are three types of AOT, follicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral, which are classified based on the location of the lesion and its association with the impacted tooth. We report a rare case of AOT associated with an impacted right mandibular lateral incisor in an 11-year-old female patient.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a tumor of odontogenic epithelium with varying degrees of inductive changes in the connective tissue. The common radiographic appearance of AOT is a unilocular radiolucency associated with an unerupted tooth. Detectable radiopacities have been reported in many cases. We present a case of AOT in a 9-year old-female patient. Cystic lesion with numerous, punctuate radiopaque foci was observed on the anterior region of the mandible. These radiopacities were situated mostly on the buccal side of impacted tooth on the multi-planar images of cone beam computed tomograph. Characteristic duct like structures and amyloid like material were observed on histopathologic finding. (Korean J Oral Maxillofac Radiol2009; 39 : 99-102)

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare, asymptomatic, slow-growing benign tumor that can be divided into three variants: follicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral. By treating AOT using an enucleation and curettage approach, recurrence can be avoided. We report a case of a 24-year-old female who presented with a lump in the right mandibular premolar area along with diastema between displaced teeth #43 and #44 and was diagnosed with extrafollicular AOT. The patient was managed with enucleation-curettage surgery without additional bone graft procedure along with routine follow-up. A successful outcome without recurrence was achieved, and diastema closure with repositioning of the displaced teeth did not require orthodontic treatment. AOT should be managed via enucleation and curettage to obtain successful outcomes without recurrence. Spontaneous bone regeneration following enucleation can be achieved without guided bone regeneration. Also, diastema closure and repositioning of displaced teeth can occur without orthodontic interventions through physiologic drift.

The osteonectin is a sort of glycoprotein which is secreted in human tissues. The osteonectin is generally detected in number of normal or neoplastic human tissues in vivo, but hasn't been studied the role of osteonectin in developing human teeth and odontogenic tumors. We evaluated degree of the expression of osteonectin immunohistochemically in 20 cases of developing tooth germ which growth from fetus 5 to 38 weeks, and total 51 odontogenic tumors whitch has taken from routine biopsy, such as 10 ameloblastomas, 5 cases of adenomatoid odontogenic tumors and odontomas and odontogenic fibromas, 4 cases of cementomas and calcifying epithelial odontogenic cyst and odontogenic keratocyst and dentigerous cysts and periapical cysts, and 3 cases of ameloblastic fibromas and myxomas. The results were as follows: 1. The osteonectin on the bud stage of tooth germ was strongly expressed in the epithelial dental lamina and in the outer dental epithelium on the early bell stage, and also strongly expressed in the inner dental epithelium on the late bell stage of tooth germs. 2. In ameloblastoma, the osteonectin was strongly expressed in the epithelial tumor component and especially in the acanthomatous types. 3. In both of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor and adenomatoid odontogenic tumors, the osteonectin was moderately expressed on the duct like spindle cells and epithelial tumor cells around calcification areas. 4. In odontogenic tumors originated from epithelial-mesenchymal tissues, the osteonectin was moderately expressed on the epithelial tumor components and in odontogenic cysts, it was expressed in ghost cells and calcification areas only. These were summaried the osteonectin may be strongly related to the developing tooth germ and odontogenic tumors and could be regulated hard tissue of human tooth in morphogenesis and involved with calcification mechanism in development odontogenic tumors.
