Clinical photograph and radiographs of the current case of endo–periodontal abscess with partial pulp necrosis causing odontogenic maxillary sinusitis and a palatal abscess mimicking a palatal neoplasm. (A) The panoramic film taken by the referring dentist revealed an inverted U-shaped periapical radiolucent lesion over tooth 26, with a class I amalgam filling over it. (B) The unusual palatal swelling measured 2 × 1 cm close to the midline. (C) The periapical film taken after referral showed an inverted J-shaped radiolucent lesion over the palatal root apex. The pulp chamber had been opened by the referring doctor to rule out pulpal disease, with a temporary filling over the chamber. (D) The bone window CT showed palatal mucosa elevation (black arrow head), an inverted U-shaped radiolucent lesion (black arrow head), and thickening of the maxillary sinus membrane (white arrow head).
