We present an uncommon diagnosis in a 34-year-old female with a non-healing extraction socket. Incisional biopsy revealed multi-nucleated giant cells suggestive of @entity2253 ( @entity2253 ). The computed tomography (CT) report made incidental note of a parathyroid mass. The @entity461 ( @entity461 ) level was checked and found to be abnormally high. A diagnosis of @entity5 of the mandible was made. The @entity1 was referred to a head and neck surgeon and the parathyroid mass was removed. The mandibular lesion was managed conservatively and continues to regress post-normalisation of @entity461 levels. The inclusion of the parathyroid region on the CT scan in this case was fortuitous. There are a range of pathologies containing multinucleated giant cells that can arise from the maxillofacial region; @entity461 level should, nevertheless, be checked in all such @entity89 . This allows the clinician to exclude @entity5 from the diagnostic sieve.
