Abstract :
Periapical lesions typically arise as a result of
pulp disease, often due to untreated dental caries,
secondary to trauma or periodontal disease. There is a
cascade of pathologies one leading to another. Periapical
lesion usually represents sequelae of pulpitis. [1] This case
report documents a puzzling dental situation in a 20-year-
old female. Initial clinical evaluation suggested an infected
root stump, however, histopathological examination
revealed a periapical granuloma. We highlight the
systematic analysis and decision making process leading to
the revised diagnosis, underscoring the importance of
integrated clinical and histopathological assessment in
resolving complex dental dilemmas.
