TUMOR SUMMARY:
MARGINS:
A well-defined, progressively enlarging mass covered by normal-appearing mucosa within the left posterior maxillary alveolar bone, localizing to the molar-bearing region. The lesion reportedly emerged following a recent dental extraction at the affected site.
The specimen consists of multiple fragments of soft tissue and associated bone, measuring in aggregate 8.8 x 7 x 1.6 cm, with the largest tissue fragment measuring 5.3 x 3 x 1.6 cm. Largest fragment reveals an ulcerated mass measuring 4.3 x 2.7 x 1.5 cm away, 0.1 cm from the deep margin, 0.8 cm from the lateral margin, 0.1 cm from the posterior margin, and 0.1 cm from the inferior margin. The tumor grossly reaches the medial margin.
