A 27-year-old man presented with a recurrent nodule with purulent discharge on the mandible of 3 months’ duration. He underwent several surgical excisions before he was referred to our outpa-tient clinic, but each time the lesion recurred. The patient was otherwise healthy with no associated discomfort. He denied exposure to animals or ticks, and he did not have a family history of simi-lar lesions. He had a root canal treatment several years prior to the current presentation. Physical examination revealed 2 contiguous nodules with purulent secretions on the left mandible.
