An incidental radiolucent lesion involving the angle of the mandible

A 58-year-old white female was referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation of a soft tissue lesion on the left lower lip with a clinical impression of mucocele. At the time of the appointment, the lesion had significantly decreased in size. The clinical diagnosis of a resolving mucocele was established and the patient decided to monitor the lesion. Extra-oral and intra-oral examination failed to reveal any significant asymmetry or mass effect besides the referred area on the lower lip.
