title: Intra-oral tumours presenting after dental extraction.
abstract: If the symptoms for which dental extraction is performed do not rapidly resolve, or if the tooth socket fails to heal, it is likely that there is further pathology in the alveolus or gingiva. A series of four cases is presented, in which, following dental extraction, a tumour was found to be the cause of the original symptoms.
