Massive Mandibular Fibrous Dysplasia Mimicking Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor Radiologically: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that may occasionally mimic odontogenic tumors radiologically. We report a rare case of a massive mandibular fibro-osseous lesion in a 58-year-old female presenting with progressively increasing lower facial swelling, trismus, and neck pain for four years. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a large (13 × 11 × 15 cm) expansile lytic lesion with dense calcified nodules, cortical thinning, and cortical breaches, radiologically suggestive of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (Pindborg tumor). Initial biopsy demonstrated fibrocollagenous tissue with dead bone; however, due to the aggressive radiological appearance and extensive mandibular involvement, provisional diagnosis favored calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor. The patient underwent subtotal mandibulectomy with reconstruction plate fixation, local flap reconstruction, and elective tracheostomy. Final histopathological examination revealed a fibro-osseous lesion with irregular immature bony trabeculae within fibrous stroma, consistent with fibrous dysplasia. Postoperatively, the patient was managed with regular oral cleaning, tracheostomy care, and speech and swallow therapy. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with giant mandibular fibro-osseous lesions and emphasizes the importance of definitive histopathological evaluation.
