Abstract

Background: A 53-year-old male was referred to the department of maxillofacial surgery for the extraction of a destructed wisdom tooth. A preoperative orthopantomogram revealed a well delineated ovoid, radiolucent lesion at the left angle of the mandible. For further lesion characterization, a dental CT scan and MRI were performed.
