Well circumscribed sclerotic mass with expansion at the alveolar ridge of the maxilla.
Ring artefact is present.
Case Discussion
The findings are most likely compatible with cemento-ossifying fibroma. They are initially lucent on an x-ray with soft tissue attenuation on a CT scan. As they mature, they gradually develop increasing amounts of calcification/ossification.
