Background: The primary lesions of the mandible have a wide range of pathological features but similar imaging appearances, which often pose a great diagnostic dilemma. Objective: To devise a diagnostic algorithm using audit information obtained by correlating clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics of mandibular lesions and subsequent histopathological diagnosis available. Methods: A total of 64 cases were taken. Out of the 64 cases, 4 (6 %) had only OPG available, 42 (65 %) cases had only CT and 5 (7.8 %) patients had only MRI available. Results: The most common lesions encountered were Ameloblastoma comprising of 25 cases (39 %), followed by Osteosarcoma-7 (10.9 %) and Odontogenic keratocyst-5 (7.8%). The majority of the cases had both OPG and CT done, whereas in 3 (4%) cases all three imaging modalities were performed. Conclusions: Imaging is very helpful in diagnosis of the primary lesion of the jaw. It gives a clue about the type of periosteal reaction and effect on the surrounding bone (lytic, blastic or mixed tumors). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
