The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a hamartomatous benign neoplasia of odontogenic origin. It appears to be, mostly prevalent in young female patients, mostly during the second decade of life. The maxillary region is most affected when compared to the mandible. Its presentation is slow-growing, asymptomatic, and quiet but not quite a lesion. It is related to canines which are unerupted. Here, we report a case of the AOT in the left maxillary region of a female patient aged 13 years. We approached with a surgical enucleation resulting in an excellent outcome.
