case_images: Extraoral examination revealed facial asymmetry on the left side with diffuse swelling measuring approximately 7 cm x 5 cm extending anteroposteriorly 4 cm away from the angle of the mouth to the posterior border of the mandible and superoinferiorly from tragus of the ear to lower border of the mandible [Figure 1].

case_images: Intraoral examination revealed swelling in the left mandibular vestibule extending anteroposteriorly from mesial aspect of 37 to anterior border of the ramus of the mandible [Figure 2].

case_images: On radiographic examination, orthopantomograph (OPG) revealed irregular radiolucency extending anteroposteriorly from distal aspect of 38 to posterior border of ramus of the mandible and superoinferiorly from sigmoid notch to lower border of the mandible [Figure 3a]. Three-dimensional computed tomography scan revealed perforation at left ramus region with extensions as that of OPG [Figure 3b].

case_images: As there was restricted mouth opening, complete surgical excision of the lesion was performed [Figure 4] and sent for histopathological examination.

case_images: Histopathology revealed nonencapsulated mass with fascicles of elongated spindle cells in fibrous stroma admixed with intense chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate, predominantly of lymphocytes [Figure 5a]. The spindle cells exhibited plump ovoid to tapering hyperchromatic nuclei with indistinct cell boundaries and mild nuclear atypia [Figure 5b].
