These lesions, though relatively uncommon, present a significant diagnostic challenge due to their varied biological behaviors, overlapping radiologic appearances, and the anatomical complexity of the maxillofacial region.
The 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of bone tumors introduces important updates that influence radiological assessment and clinical decision-making in oral and maxillofacial pathology.
In this context, the article "Imaging approach for jaw and maxillofacial bone tumors with updates from the 2022 World Health Organization classification", published in the World Journal of Radiology, offers a comprehensive and updated guide for radiologists, maxillofacial surgeons, and dental professionals.

The authors provide a detailed review of the most relevant imaging modalities—such as panoramic radiography, CT, CBCT, and MRI—highlighting their diagnostic strengths in differentiating benign from malignant lesions, as well as specific features aligned with the latest WHO classification.
This work is a highly valuable reference that bridges radiological practice with contemporary oncologic pathology and should be considered essential reading for professionals involved in the diagnostic workflow of jaw lesions.
