Mandibular tumors could be benign or malignant. Benign lesions could be cystic or solid. Examples of benign solid lesions are ameloblastoma, odontoma, and ossifying fibroma. Periapical cysts, follicular cysts, and odontogenic keratocysts are a few benign cystic lesions. Hemangioma, neurofibroma, giant cell granuloma, and metabolic bone disease are additional lesions to be considered in the differential diagnosis. An important uncommon cause of a mandibular mass is a Brown tumor secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism. Presented here is a case of a mandibular mass secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
