abstract: A series of 21 cases of adenomatoid odontogenic tumour is reported from Sri Lanka. They formed 8.6% of odontogenic tumours, excluding odontomes, in the 10-year period reviewed. 85% of cases occurred in the anterior maxilla. Most cases were diagnosed clinically as dentigerous cysts. There were no recurrences following conservative surgery in follow-up periods ranging from 2 to 11 years.
