The Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor is a benign, nonaggressive odontogenic tumor which has been known by a number of descriptive names since it was first reported. In almost all instances, the lesion may be removed by surgical enucleation. On the other side unicystic Ameloblastoma is another tumor of the odontogenic series which has been described as benign but locally invasive and which is managed conservatively in the same fashion. Dentigerous cyst, a cyst of odontogenic origin, has the high neoplastic potential of transforming into ameloblastoma & is again managed similarly and thus joins the other two. Hereby we are presenting two cases of the above said lesions with mimicking clinical & radiographic features along with straw coloured aspirate.
