“…Lesions presenting predominantly radiolucent are 98% compared to 2% which are predominantly radiopaque. On the basis of radiographic findings differentiation from other lesions can be difficult; whereas the dentigerous cyst, unicystic ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocyst, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma and the calcifying epithelial odontogenic cyst can be placed among the differential diagnosis 2,6,17,18 .…”

“…Advanced imaging such as multidetector computed tomography may demonstrate more detailed features such as finer calcified deposits, especially when displayed in the soft tissue window. Nevertheless, CBCT images may be sufficient for diagnostic purpose 17 . Advantages of CBCT when compared to CT, include decreased radiation dose, shorter scanning time and overall cost reduction.…”

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumours are hamartomatous lesions that rarely deviate from their well-recognised radiological features. However, increasing numbers with atypical radiological features have been reported in recent years. This study reports on a large extrafollicular lesion in the anterior mandible with uncommon radiological features in a 17-year-old female. Treatment included enucleation with a histopathological confirmation. Healing was uneventful. Statement of clinical relevanceThe current lesion depicted atypical radiological features. Distinctive radiological features may not always be apparent in conventional radiographs. Hence, the use of advanced imaging may improve radiographic interpretation in differentiating from radiographically similar appearing lesions.
