Unilateral intraosseous palatal swelling in 24‑year‑old woman

The case, published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, highlights the importance of considering intraosseous lesions in the differential diagnosis of palatal swellings and underscores the need for imaging and histopathologic confirmation to guide appropriate management.
