Peripheral Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor - A Rare Cause of Gingival Enlargement: A Case Report with CBCT Findings.

PAOT is a rare disease entity in children that mimics gingival swelling, and may often be misdiagnosed by dentists. With literature still ambiguous on the origin of the tumor and biological course, it becomes imperative to examine any gingival swelling in children with a proper clinical examination, periapical radiography, and if necessary cone-beam computed tomography. Excision and histopathological evaluation will help in confirming the exact disease condition.
