(a) Lesion enucleation including the unerupted canine; (b) Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor histological aspect, stressing the proliferation of fusiform/globular cells arranged as large islands and ductiform structures (H/E 100x); (c) Microscopic aspect showing foci of eosinophilic amorphous material and calcification areas (H/E 200x); (d) Photomicrography showing a cystic lesion coated by stratified pavement epithelium, formed by few cell layers, associated to adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (H/E 100x).

After that, the tumor mass and the unerupted canine were removed (Figure 1a), and finally we repositioned the tissue and sutured the mucoperiosteal flap. After routine histology on the material, under light microscopy they observed fragments of the odontogenic lesion, characterized by the proliferation of fusiform/globular cells, arranged as large islands and solid sheets, as well as numerous structures similar to ducts, lined by low cylindrical or cubic cells, of polarized nuclei (Figure 1b). Occasionally, some detached eosinophylic amorphous material was, together with calcification areas (Figure 1c). We also noticed the presence of a cystic lesion coated by a stratified pavement epithelium, formed by few cell layers (Figure 1d), showing a continuity with the neoplastic foci aforementioned, and a connective fibrous capsule.
