Abstract
Cholesterol granulomas, while a common pathological finding, are rarely reported within the mandible. Herein, we report the case of a pediatric patient who presented with a cholesterol granuloma within a periapical cyst, extending from the inferior aspect of tooth #31 to the mandibular condyle, with no prior history of infection or trauma to the region and underwent successful marsupialization of the lesion.Entities:
