The "2/3rds" tumor - Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor
Did you know Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is also called “2/3rds” tumor?
AOT has a female predominance, with almost 2/3rds of cases occurring in females.
It is also reported that 2/3rds of the affected teeth are canines (maxillary or mandibular). Note that it is known to be more commonly associated with the maxillary canine than its mandibular counterpart.
For the above quoted reasons, AOT is called “two-thirds tumor”.
