case_images: Intraoral inspection revealed an asymptomatic swelling in the anterior palate with a bony consistency, with crackling on some points, measuring approximately 5.0 cm in diameter [Figure 2], which had commenced 2 years previously.

case_images: Intraoral examination also showed an increase in volume in the anterior region of the mandible with a bony consistency, asymptomatic, measuring approximately 4.0 cm in diameter [Figure 3], also with the same time course.

case_images: A skull radiograph disclosed a "ground-glass" or "salt and pepper" appearance of the calvarium and loss of cortical lines [Figure 4].
case_images: Panoramic radiograph showing expansion of both jaws with nearly homogenous or "ground-glass" trabecular pattern. Note the loss of cortical outline for the incisive nerve canal, poor definition of crestal bone, and inferior cortex of the mandible. The maxillary and mandibular lesions are not clearly distinguishable on this panoramic radiograph

case_images: The panoramic radiograph revealed a thinning of the trabecular bone, resulting in an appearance similar to "ground-glass" or "salt and pepper" [Figure 5].

case_images: The patient was followed up for 5 years, showing improvement in overall clinical status [Figure 9].
case_images: (a) Radiograph of skull showing improvement of the "ground-glass" appearance of calvarium; (b) Panoramic radiograph showing improvement of the pattern of trabecular bone; (c) Intraoral radiograph showing restoration of lamina dura of maxillary anterior teeth; (d) Intraoral radiograph showing restoration of lamina dura of mandibular anterior teeth
