ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to analysis the clinicopathological features of adenomatoid odontogenic tumour extrafollicular and to discuss the diagnosis pitfull. We present two cases diagnosed and followed at the C.H.U. Habib Bourguiba, Sfax. It is about a 15 year-old boy and a 46 year-old woman who presented gingival swelling. The panoramic radiographs showed in both cases, a radiolucent area affecting teeth 23, 24 and 35 respectively. A computed tomography scan, realized at the second cas, demonstrated an expansile lesion with a sclerotic rim. An exploratory surgical approach was chosen and the final diagnosis was microscopically confirmed to be an extrafollicular variant of adenomatoid odontogenic tumour. The patients were healthy and have not shown any signs of recurrence at follow-up. The two cases described illustrate clinical and radiographic features of the extrafollicular variant of adenomatoid odontogenic tumour. Careful diagnostic procedure and adequate interpretation of radiographic findings may result in a correct diagnosis with otherwise may result in unnecessary endodontic treatment.
