Abstract
Large benign tumors and cysts of the mandible cause such massive bulging in the soft tissue of the cheek that one is tempted to try to find an external approach to the tumor. In our experience an oral approach has proven to be sufficient and advantageous in most cases of benign mandibular tumors even when they were very large. This is demonstrated in an unusual case of lipoblastoma of the ascending mandibular ramus. It is the first endosteal case of this rare tumor in the literature.
