Abstract

Abstract: Intraosseous xanthomas are rare, benign entities and may present a diagnostic challenge to clinicians, radiologists and histopathologists due to the non‐specific features of this lesion. Presented here is the first definitive reported recurrence of an intraosseous xanthoma, which was previously diagnosed as a granular cell odontogenic tumour. We include a review of the existing literature and discuss the diagnostic pitfalls in navigating the differences between granular cell odontogenic tumour and intraosseous xanthoma.
