CLINICAL DETAILS

​

A 9-year-old female patient presented with a large bony swelling of the right body of the mandible.

CLINICAL DETAILS

​

A 32-year-old female patient presented with a fluctuant lump in the submandibular region of the left neck. Ultrasound and MRI were suggestive of a cystic lesion or necrotic lymph node. A well-defined cystic lesion was seen in level II and the ultrasound showed a hypoechoic lesion with limited vascularity.
