case_images: The fact that the lower wall of the mandibular canal was visible within the radiolucent area showed that there could be a neighboring relationship, but not an involvement, of the inferior alveolar nerve (Figure 1).
case_images: CT image:soft-tissue window and coronal view, in which the expansion of the mandibular buccal cortex (arrow head), the submandibular gland (large arrows), and some lymph nodes (small arrows) can be seen.
