Worth syndrome "mandibular osteosclerosis" as an incidental finding: a report of 2 cases

This report presents two cases of Worth syndrome involving the mandible which were identified as an incidental finding on radiologic evaluation. Both patients were females who presented with enlarged mandibles. Radiologic evaluation revealed multiple bilateral mandibular enostoses, widened and thickened inferior cortical border of the mandible, with no other major clinical finding on examination. One of the patients received orthognathic surgery and healed uneventfully with no post-surgical complications. In this report, we reviewed possible differential diagnoses to this syndrome to facilitate identification among general dentists and oral and maxillofacial radiologists.
