Abstract
Fourteen masses in the maxillofacial areas which are not diagnosised simply as abscess were studied with ultrasound to evaluate its diagnostic role. Benign mass showed homogeneous echopattern with smooth margin and cyst a few internal echo with smooth margin. But malignant mass showed irregular margin, inhomogeneous echotexture and deep extension. Ultrasonography considered as an initial noninvasive imaging modality for the evaluation of maxillofacial masses.
