The patient underwent computed tomography (CT) that revealed a hypodense, oval-shaped, unilocular, 1.5 cm in diameter, non-mineralized osteolytic lesion in the left maxilla (Figure 1).

Pty Ltd., New York, NY, USA) were mixed and intra-lesional injection was performed in different areas of lesion once a week for six weeks duration (Figure 2).Two weeks later, lesion's dimensions were observed to decrease and at the end of 6 weeks, lesion in the oral mucosa was not visible to naked-eye observation (Figure 3). At four month control no lesion was found in CT examination and new bone formation was apparent (Figure 4). Panoramic radiography obtained at one year followup revealed no recurrence of the lesion (Figure 5).
