Patient gives no history of trauma. No history of sudden increase or decrease in size of the swelling. The swelling was visible when the patient clenches her teeth and while sleeping [Fig 1c].  Blood investigations were within normal limits. Digital Panoramic radiograph [Fig 2] was taken followed by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) [Fig 3a,3b,3c], Ultrasonography (USG) [Fig 4a,4b,4c] was performed.
