Aggressive inflammatory pseudotumor of the mandible.
Inflammatory pseudotumor (IP) is a nongranulomatous inflammatory process with no apparent local or systemic cause. The distinction between IP and malignant tumor is of great clinical importance. The incidence of IP in the head and neck region is very low. Inflammatory pseudotumor is a distinct pathological entity rarely found in the jaw bones. A rare case of aggressive IP of the mandible is presented along with its clinicopathologic features and surgical management.
