Expansile Dentoalveolar Lesion on Endodontic Referral

60-year-old male

01

The Finding

A 60-year-old male was referred from an endodontic practice with clinically significant palatal swelling and soft tissue ulceration with rolled borders, despite vital teeth in the region of interest. The radiologist identified a lesion causing considerable expansion of the dentoalveolar region in multiple directions. The appearance was suggestive of a benign neoplasm, most likely an ameloblastoma, with implications for multiple adjacent anatomical structures. Given that surgical treatment would involve wide margin of resection, the patient would likely require advanced prosthodontics including a custom obturator device.
