pericoronal lesion

what do we measure lesions size in
millimeters or centimeters
unilocular - RL lesions
one compartment, small
outlined in cortical bone
corticated - RL
benign, slow growing
outlined in cortical bone
non corticated - RL
benign or malignant, poorly defined
not outlined in cortical bone
multilocular - RL
multiple compartments, soap bubbles
typically corticated borders
large, expansile
focal opacity - RO
well defined, localized
target lesion - RO
well defined, localized, RL halo
multifocal confluent - RO
multiple overlapping
irregular - RO
no defined pattern, hard to identify
ground glass - RO
pebbled, almost like an orange peel
mixed lucent-opaque - RO
radiolucent with radiopaque flex
