  • It is rather a reactive in origin and not a neoplastic lesion.
  • It occurs in young adults (rarely after 30 years).
  • Most common location is the body of the mandible
  • Radiographically it appears as  unilocular radiolucency in early stages, but as it grows usually becomes multilocular with a honeycomb appearance.
  • It has an irregular shape and often ill-defined borders.
  • It can cause considerable bone expansion and facial swelling.
  • Possible effects on adjacent teeth: displacement, resorption, loss of lamina dura.
