Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour (AOT) is a rare odontogenic neoplasm that primarily affects adolescents and young adults. The present case report discusses the presentation, diagnosis, and successful surgical management of AOT in a 14-year-old patient with a six-month history of upper left jaw swelling. Radiological investigations confirmed the lesion’s characteristics, leading to a provisional diagnosis of AOT. Subsequently, surgical enucleation and histopathological examination {Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E)} confirmed the diagnosis. The patient showed no recurrence during follow-up at three weeks and six months postsurgery, with excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes. Postoperative follow-up is essential for optimal patient care and long-term outcomes. The present case report contributes to the existing literature on AOT, providing real-world clinical insights and data, which aids in a better understanding and management of this rare condition.
