Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Plain radiogram shows an ovoid, well-circumscribed, radiolucent lesion with sclerotic margin at the mandibular angle.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Axial bone algorithm CT image shows medial cortical defect, lateral cortical thinning and slightly lobulated expansion.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Axial-unenhanced, fat-suppressed (A) T1 -weighted and (B) T2 -weighted images show lobulated mandibular angle defect and the same signal intensity within the defect and the submandibular gland.
Figure 4.
Figure 4.
Axial-enhanced, fat-suppressed T1-weighted image better delineates defect margins and shows submandibular gland extending into the defect.
