A 39-year-old man came to an oral and maxillofacial surgery office for evaluation
of a lesion in the left maxilla. The patient’s general dentist referred him after

the lesion. The patient reported a history of tooth extraction in the area many years

neck examination was unremarkable, with no evidence of adenopathy, palpable masses,
or facial asymmetry, and cranial nerves were grossly intact.
