Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), a type of epithelial developmental cyst, is frequently found in the jaw region. It has invasive characteristics such as satellite cysts, rapid progression, and tissue expansion. The OKC often favors the mandibular angle and ascending ramus. OKC symptoms include pain, swelling, displacement or malpositioning of adjacent teeth, and erosion or thinning of the limited or no bucco-lingual cortical expansion. There is radiographic evidence of a distinct, often scalloped, radiolucent lesion with a characteristic "soap bubble" or "honeycomb" appearance. This article reports a female patient, aged 40 years, with the main concern of unilateral pain and swelling of the mandibular left side and the provisional diagnosis of ameloblastoma. After histopathological examination, the final diagnosis of the patient was OKC. This article also includes previously published literature on OKC with differential diagnosis and relevant clinical and radiologic findings of the case.

Formerly termed or , core muscle injury (CMI) encompasses abnormality of structures within the so-called core, which is essentially the hip, abdomen, and pubis. Compared with data on image-guided procedures of other joints, information regarding procedures performed to address CMI and other disorders of the pubic symphysis is lacking. These procedures can be daunting given the joint's small size, surrounding critical neurovascular structures, and three-dimensional anatomy.
