AAOMP case challenge: "The case of a subtle expansion of the mandible"

J Contemp Dent Pract. 2002 Nov 15;3(4):66-72.

Abstract

A healthy 25-year old Caucasian man presented for a routine dental examination. He was unaware of a subtle expansion involving the right posterior mandible, which was bony hard and nontender. Radiographic findings prompted an immediate referral of the patient to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for diagnosis and management of the jaw lesion. What is your diagnosis?
