Extra-orally facial asymmetry was noted on the left side of the jaw with swelling extending anterio-posteriorly from the angle of the mouth to the lower border of the mandible (Fig. 1). After 3 weeks recall, clinical and radiographic examination (orthopantomograph (OPG)), a gradual reduction in swelling and tenderness was observed (Fig. 1).
