An adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) is a unique and somewhat uncommon odontogenic tumour that only arises from odontogenic epithelium and makes up between 2 and 7% of all odontogenic tumours and cysts. The lesion is categorised into three variants, the most common of which is the follicular type, which frequently presents as a dentigerous cyst clinically because it surrounds an impacted tooth. Because of the lesion's well-known ability to take on various clinical and histopathological appearances, it has been given the term "master of disguise". We report a case of AOT involving mandible in a 15-year-old male who reported to our department with a chief complaint of painless swelling in his mandibular region.
