Figure 3. (A) Pantomography of the patient in case 1 at 6 months after surgery. The tumor was resected, and the mandibular shape was reconstructed using a titanium plate with the condyle head. (B) Pathological photograph of the patient in case 1. Tumor nests showing densely packed cells rimmed by tall columnar cells with marked pleomorphism (×200, H–E stain). (C) Pantomography of the patient in case 2 at 6 weeks after surgery. The tumor was resected, and the mandibular shape was reconstructed using a titanium plate with the condyle head. (D) Pathological photograph of the patient in case 2. Tumor consisting of various-sized and -shaped follicular parenchyma, dense collagenous stroma, and granular cells in central areas of the tumor nests (×100, H–E stain).
