Abstract
We describe the case of a 47-year-old female who presented with a small nodule in the buccal sulcus in the left maxillary incisor region. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed a small sclerotic neoplasm with a short pedicle. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of parosteal osteosarcoma. The contribution of CT to the diagnosis and management is discussed.
