case_images: Soft-tissue examination revealed vestibular obliteration and tenderness present in relation to left maxillary anterior teeth; however, overlying mucosa was intact with no signs of infection and sinus tract formation [Figure 1].

case_images: CBCT multiplanar and axial sections [Figure 3], with three-dimensional reconstructed image [Figure 4], revealed solitary, oval, ill-defined, unilocular, complete radiolucency, with nonsclerotic border, surrounding the apical aspect of root of 21, 22, 23 causing complete destruction of labial plate at coronal aspect extending toward alveolar crest in 21, 22 region and superiorly leading to destruction of nasal floor, medially up to nasal septum, and distally till the distal aspect of root of 23.
