Which of the following should also be in the differential diagnosis?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Periapical granuloma
A periapical radiolucency from pulpal necrosis can represent a periapical granuloma, cyst, or abscess. Periapical granuloma is the most common entity in the differential of a chronic periapical radiolucency. Periodontal abscess (B) is associated with a deep pocket and vital pulp — not a necrotic pulp.
