A 15-year-old male presented to the dental clinic after noticing a mild swelling in his lower jaw. Radiographic examination
(Figure 1) revealed a well-defined, non-corticated, unilocular radiolucency with scalloped margins in the anterior mandibular
symphyseal region. Notably, no root resorption or displacement was noted on this view. All associated teeth were vital, and
the patient had no history of trauma. During surgical exploration, no cystic lining was discovered in the lesion; instead, a
bony wall was present. Histological examination showed small fragments of viable bone, some of which were covered by a
thin fibrovascular lining. No epithelial lining was observed in the examined sections
