Abstract: Radiolucent lesions are frequently associated with the apex or furcation of a tooth and may signal pulpal changes within the tooth. However, when lesions not associated with caries progression begin to extend into the sinus and displace teeth, questions begin to arise concerning the vitality of the teeth, the origins of the lesion, and the consequences of its existence. It is crucial to carry out the necessary radiographs, consultations, and lab work to ensure a correct diagnosis is made. This case report follows a 15-year-old patient with a large expansile lesion with a thinly corticated border that is displacing the roots of #12 and 13 and extending into the maxillary sinus. This report will include clinical, radiographic, and histological findings as well as differential diagnoses, and ultimately treatment rendered to the patient.
