Özet

A 19-year-old woman presented with a dramatic but

painless mass of the mandibular symphysis region (Fig

1). She had first noticed the lesion more than 4 years

earlier and reported that it had undergone gradual progressive

enlargement since that time. She denied undergoing

trauma to the area and said that she had no

pain or other symptoms associated with the swelling.

Despite her cosmetic disfigurement, the patient had not

previously sought treatment because of socioeconomic

reasons. Her medical and dental history was otherwise

unremarkable. During a clinical examination, the mass

was found to be bony, firm, and nontender and seemed

confluent with the anterior and inferior borders of the

mandible. In the midline area immediately below the

residual inferior border of the mandible, the mass was

slightly depressible when gentle digital pressure was

applied. The anterior mandibular teeth were immobile

and vital.
