Why it matters for dental
A case report of a mandibular radiolucency presenting as submucosal swelling adds to differential-diagnosis knowledge for oral surgeons and general dentists who evaluate bony lesions, potentially altering biopsy and referral pathways.
Key points
- Authors from three Brazilian dental schools present a single-patient case in JADA's online-first section.
- Lesion was located in the mandible and initially manifested only as a submucosal swelling without overt cortical expansion.
- The publication date is 22 September 2026; therefore, the article is not yet accessible to readers as of today (25 September 2026).
