The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To review the wide range of benign processes that involve the jaw, including jaw cysts, inflammatory processes, and histologically benign tumors. 2. To review benign processes of the jaw, which may appear aggressive, such that they are nearly indistinguishable from malignant jaw tumors. 3. To establish familiarity with imaging features of the most commonly encountered benign jaw lesions.

Review of important Jaw Anatomy. Jaw Cysts. Benign Jaw Tumors: Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (Odontogenic keratocyst, primordial cyst) Ameloblastoma Odontogenic Myxoma/Myxofibroma (Odontogenic fibromyxoma)  Hemangioma Osteoblastoma Ossifying Fibroma (Cemento-ossifying fibroma, cementifying fibroma, juvenile (active/aggressive) ossifying fibroma) Ossifying Fibroma with Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Osteoma Exostoses Odontoma        4. Tumor-Like Jaw Lesions: Simple Bone Cyst Osteomyelitis Giant Cell Granuloma Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Fibrous Dysplasia Cherubism        5.  Conclusions
