Abstract
Massive osteolysis is a rare, insidious, chronic disease characterized by progressive resorption of contiguous osseous structures. The etiology of this disease process is poorly understood and the management is a big dilemma. This is a rare presentation with less than 50 cases of involvement of maxillofacial region that have been reported in the literature. This presentation aims at presenting the differential diagnosis and an outline of possible management.
