case_images: Panoramic radiograph showed a well-limited radiolucency image with a clear peripheral regular condensation border, located below the mandibular canal.

case_images: (a) The axial cuts of a CBCT showed a well-defined lingual defect (9.8 x 4.8 mm) with a thin cortical border in the posterior part of the right mandible. (b) The para-axial cuts revealed a cavity in the lingual side of the mandible that has a lingual opening, is monocystic, and has a cortical margin below the mandibular canal with +-7.2 mm distance. (c) Panoramic reconstruction offered a view of the lesion separated from the mandibular canal and well limited by a thin cortical. (d) Panoramic reconstruction with the visualization window spectrum color showing the borders of the bone defect and the relation with the mandibular canal. (e) The 3D reconstruction presented the shape, location of the well-limited defect filled with soft tissues, and its relation with the mandibular canal.

case_images: (a) Axial T1 FSE shows that the mandibular defect (red arrows) is filled with soft tissue in continuity with and has the same signal intensity with the submandibular gland (SG). The contralateral gland (SG) is marked for comparison. (b) The right mandible defect was again identified with the axial T2 FS, and it contains soft tissue that was continuous with the adjacent submandibular gland (red arrows) and was identical in signal intensity to the left gland (SG). (c) Coronal T1 FSE shows that the bony defect (red arrows) contains an extension of the submandibular gland.
