Abstract

A case of Massive osteolysis affecting of the mandible was presented in a 46 years old female whose chief complaint was a depression on the left mandibular region. Radiographs revealed a large radiolucency of the left ramus of the mandible and histopathologically, the affected site consisted of only numerous dense connective tissues.
The left mandible body was resected and reconstructed with autogenous bone and reconstruction metal plate.
At the present situation, the prognosis is good for mastication and cosmetic form.
