Figure’s legend
Figure 1: (A) Panoramic radiography: lacunar image (white
arrow) related to the mandibular canal (black arrow) and extending
towards the basilar border. (B) Axial CT section: destruction
of the lingual cortex (white arrow), thinning of the vestibular cortex
(white arrowhead). (C) Coronal CT section: osteolysis extending
superiorly and laterally, leading to thinning of the vestibular cortex
and to lingual displacement of the mandibular canal. (D)Sagittal CT reconstruction: evolution of osteolysis below the mandibular
canal to the basilar border. (E-F) Axial CT section and oblique
reconstruction perpendicular to the mandibular body in a narrow window
with contrast product: osteolysis of greasy nature (star) centered by an
image of glandular density (black arrowhead) and communicating with the
submandibular gland (SMG) by a canal (white dotted arrows).
