Conservative management of a multicystic lesion of the anterior mandible: histolopathologic aspects change the diagnosis

The present study aims to report a case of a cystic lesion affecting the left paramental edentulous mandible region in a 62-year-old female patient. The patient reported a 1-year growth history, and noted pain in the area during the last few months. Clinical inspection showed a multilobulated, translucent swelling with a well-defined cystic radiolucency aspect on imaging examination. Presurgical puncture of the lesion revealed a transparent liquid content. A cystic decompression was then performed and the obtained specimen from the roof of the lesion was submitted for histopathologic examination.
