2023年5月19日 · Lucent lesions of the mandible are not uncommon and may be the result of odontogenic or non-odontogenic processes. Lucency may be conferred by a cystic process (e.g. periapical cyst) or a lytic process (e.g. mandibular metastases).

This article aims to discuss the imaging findings of radiolucent jaw lesions to aid the radiologist to formulate a differential diagnosis for this vast spectrum of jaw lesions with overlapping clinical and imaging appearances.

2020年1月7日 · This article discusses identification of radiopaque and radiolucent lesions noted on radiographs. The common opacities and lucencies are described. When required, advanced imaging is used to depict changes within the bone near the …

2015年1月12日 · Compare the radiological features of the unknown radiolucency with the typical radiological features of these possible conditions. Then construct a list showing, in order of likelihood, all the conditions that the lesion might be. This …

2013年12月10日 · Radiolucent mandibular lesions seen on panoramic radiographs develop from both odontogenic and non-odontogenic structures. They represent a broad spectrum of lesions with a varying degree of malignant potential.

Stratified Squamous lining with mucous metaplasia, forming acinar-like clusters. Histologic Variant with unique clinical features. Curettage vrs. Resection. Neurilemmoma vrs. Neurofibroma.

It provides a comprehensive, practical approach to the radiological interpretation of radiolucent lesions of the mandible. To facilitate the diagnostic approach, we have classified radiolucent lesions into two groups: lesions with well-defined borders and those with ill-defined borders.

2023年12月1日 · Radiolucent lesions are commonly observed on dental radiographs. Inflammatory periapical lesions, cysts, tumors, and trauma may also cause these lesions. Most periapical radiolucent lesions are caused by the necrosis of the tooth pulp (Bilodeau and Collins, 2017, Huang et al., 2017).
