## TL;DR

This paper discusses the importance of being alert to rapidly growing oral lesions, particularly those affecting the front upper jaw.

## Contribution

Highlights the clinical significance of exophytic lesions in the anterior maxilla and the need for early suspicion.

## Key findings

- Rapidly expanding oral lesions require a high index of suspicion.
- Mobility of teeth can be a sign of such lesions.

## Abstract

A high index of suspicion is required for any rapidly expanding lesion in the oral cavity especially when associated with mobility of the dentition.
