title: Spontaneous resolution of a central vascular lesion of the mandible following needle aspiration.
abstract: A case of a central vascular lesion of the mandible that appeared to be healing spontaneously after needle aspiration has been described. It is suggested that more lesions of this type than previously realized may have the potential to resolve spontaneously after simple needle aspiration, which leads to intramedullary hemorrhage, organization of a clot, and complete healing.
