Young patient with swelling of mandible

Abstract


A 10-year-old boy presented at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Outpatient Clinic with painless swelling of the left mandible. His medical history was unremarkable and clinical examination revealed a soft and compressible lesion with unclear boundaries in the left mandible with slight pink to red skin discolouration. The lesion enlarged slowly and commensurately with the patient. Due to its increasing size and the correlated cosmetic problems, the patient required medical treatment. Face photo, ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images are shown.
