[1] Stafne, in year 1948 described it as an "ameloblastic adenomatoid tumor or
adenoameloblastoma," since it presented with simulating structures such as canals or glands, he, therefore, described it as an ameloblastoma variant.
Later on it has been described under various names like adenoameloblastoma, cystic complex composite odontoma, ameloblastic odontogenic tumor, odontogenic adenomatoid tumor, and so forth.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rela-tively uncommon distinct odontogenic neoplasm that was first described by Steensland in 1905.1 This tumor was initially labeled as 'epithelial tumor' by Stafne in 1948 and as
adenoameloblastoma by Thoma in 1955.
As a result, the lesion is known by many names, including
adenoameloblastoma, adenoameloblastic odontoma, epithelial tumour associated with developmental cysts, ameloblastic adenomatoid tumour and adenomatoid or pseudoadenomatous ameloblastoma.
