case_images: The flap was repositioned in the same location and suturing was done with vicryl 3.0 suture material (Figures 3(a) and 3(b)).
case_images: Histopathological specimen (a) reveals the presence of the lesional tissue in toto along with the attached tooth specimen. (b) Histopathology shows odontogenic epithelium with peripheral palisading nuclei resembling ameloblast-like cells and loosely arranged central cells, identical to stellate reticulum, embedded in a myxoid cell-rich stroma resembling the dental papilla. Focal areas of enamel and dentin are also present.
