| Summary points: | A 54-year-old Caucasian male with arterial hypertension presents with a 1-year history of buccal oedema. Clinical examination, pantomogram, cranial x-rays, fine needle aspiration biopsy, computed tomography, which revealed a tumourous lesion in the area of the mandibular angle and ramus resulting in its deformation, tumour enucleation, and histopathology are described; images provided. The authors discuss a rare intramandibular encapsulated lesion that caused diagnostic difficulties, and emphasise the uncommon location of this tumour type. |
