Intracortical hemangioma of the mandible. Case report.
We describe the first reported case of an intracortical hemangioma of the mandible in a 13-year-old Japanese girl. Panoramic radiography and CT demonstrated a small osteolytic lesion which had expanded and thinned the cortex at the inferior border of the left mandible. The lesion enhanced on post-contrast T1-weighted MRI. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology following block excision. Intracortical hemangioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of radiolucent lesions orf the mandible
