摘要

Background

Adenoid ameloblastoma (AA) is a newly recognized, rare odontogenic tumor variant, distinguished by histopathological features that combine characteristics of both ameloblastoma and adenomatoid odontogenic tumor.

Case report

A 32-year-old female with an unilocular radiolucent lesion in the mandible associated with the impacted third molar, diagnosed as AA. Surgical management included complete lesion excision and cryotherapy. Despite the absence of significant symptoms, clinical surveillance is essential, as AA may have high recurrence rates. The recent inclusion of this entity in the WHO Head and Neck Tumor Classification (2022) highlights the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate interventions to optimize patient prognosis.

Conclusion

This report not only contributes to the growing understanding of this tumor biological behavior but also highlights the clinical relevance of documenting such cases to guide best practices and improve prognostic insights in rare odontogenic lesions.
