Summary
A 26-year-old Chinese man was referred to our hospital in February 2006 for maxillofacial consultation. CT scans showed expansile osseous remodeling with a multilocular appearance and a coarse trabecular pattern affecting the bilateral mandibular bodies and right maxilla (Fig 1). MR imaging showed homogeneous isointensity, including a partial slight low-signal-intensity area on T1-weighted imaging and slight heterogeneous isointensity, including partial high signal intensity, on T2-weighted imaging.
