There are a variety of radiolucent and radiopaque lesions that can present and be diagnosed from panoramic radiographs. Radiolucent/radiopaque lesions of the mandible are known to originate from both odontogenic and non-odontogenic structures and may have a variable potential for malignancy. This case report details management of an asymptomatic, well-defined mixed radiolucent/radiopaque lesion involving the posterior body and ascending ramus of the right mandible, associated with fully impacted #32, in a 14 year 10 month male. Clinical and radiographic assessment resulted in a differential diagnosis list that is discussed in this case report.
