Jaw tumors and cysts

Diagnosis

To gather more information about your jaw tumor or cyst, your doctor may recommend tests prior to treatment. These test may include:

  • Imaging studies, such as X-ray, CT or MRI
  • A biopsy to remove a sample of tumor or cyst cells for laboratory analysis

Your doctor uses this information to put together a treatment plan that's best for you and the most effective option for treating your tumor or cyst.
