15Sheikh (2014) [29]45FPain and swellingMandible, posterior bodyMixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion with sclerotic borders. Loss of trabeculation with normal surrounding bone
16Shah (2013) [30]7MPain and swellingMandible, posterior bodyHomogeneous radiopaque expansile.
The adjacent tooth germs were displaced
Recurrent: large well-defined mass composed of two locules with multiple internal calcifications
Original: 3.5
Recurrent: and
17Kaur (2012) [31]26FPain and swellingMandible, posterior bodyWell-delineated expansile radiolucency contained calcified mass and few radiopaque flecks scattered within the radiolucency. Expansion and thinning of the lower border of the mandible
18Castro (2016) [32]7FPain and swellingMandible, posterior bodyPoorly defined mixed radiolucent-radiopaque8
19Vinuth (2013) [33]25MPain and swellingMandible, posterior bodyIll-defined radiolucency with internal radiodensities
20Harrington (2011) [34]25MMild pain and swellingMaxillaIll-defined radiolucency with internal radiodensities4
21Woźniak (2010) [35]30MSwellingMandible, bodyPoorly marginated from adjacent tissue. Small, irregular radiolucent foci of bone destruction with a few patchy calcifications are visible centrally
22Angiero (2006) [36]24MSwellingMandible, posterior bodyPoorly defined, “ground-glass” radiopaque lesion1
23Angiero (2006) [36]8MSwelling, missing teethMaxillaMixed pattern of radiolucency and radiopacity1.5

27Capodiferro (2005) [9]21FPain and swellingMandible, bodyNS2
28Capodiferro (2005) [9]20MPain and swellingMandible, posterior bodyRadiolucent lesion of the left mandibular molar area, in close association with an unerupted tooth, with regular contours and containing fine calcifications3
