Intraoral mass, extraoral suppuration, and jaw lesions

Abstract

A 77-year-old African American man with a 1-year history of an asymptomatic intraoral mass and facial edema was referred by his physician for specialized oral medicine evaluation at our department. His medical condition pointed to systemic arterial hypertension controlled with medications. His blood test results indicated elevated creatinine and urea (1.64 mg/dL and 80 mg/dL, respectively). Additionally, the patient's medical history did not indicate any antiresorptive or other drug that could alter bone remodeling, as well as radiotherapy in the head and neck region.
