CT of the head and thorax –
A slightly ill defined bony defect is seen in the lateral aspect of the right hemimandibular corpus extending from the 405 to the 408. Part of the medullary bone and the medioventral cortex of the mandible is maintained. The neighboring tooth roots of the 404, 405 and 408 are within normal limits. The lesion does not cross the mandibular symphysis. The brain is included in the study and presents within normal limits. The computed tomography of the thorax is within normal limits, no metastases noted.
Partial hemimandibulectomy from the 404 to 408 would be the therapy of choice if not
yet done so. There is no evidence of macroscopic metastatic spread to the regional lymph nodes,
pulmonary interstitium or mediastinal lymph nodes.
