A 60-year-old female patient was referred by an outside oral and maxillofacial surgeon
for evaluation of a left posterior mandibular “lesion.” The patient estimated that
she had first experienced pain associated with the left mandibular posterior teeth
approximately 6 months before presentation. She also experienced progressive difficulty
with mastication on the left side. She was seen by her general dentist and was referred
to an oral surgeon for extraction of the left mandibular posterior teeth due to periodontally
compromised dentition. After extraction of the left posterior molars, the surgical
site did not appear normal. This prompted an incisional biopsy of the left mandible.
The patient was then referred to our institution for further management.
