case_images: Occlusal radiograph showed expansion and thinning of the labial cortical plate [Figure 3]. OPG Ortho Pan Tomography shows a tooth like radio opaque mass in relation to right central and lateral incisor surrounded by a well-defined radiolucent rim towards the inferio-left lateral aspect of the mass [Figure 4].
