The Finding

A 59-year-old female was referred for evaluation of teeth #6 through #11, all of which had become rapidly mobile, with suspected bone pathology. The radiographic and clinical features were suggestive of a possible malignancy. The finding was ultimately determined to be a very rare but serious fungal infection, which typically affects diabetic patients. This case underscores the value of thorough radiographic evaluation and prompt referral.
