The first step would be consultation with an oral, maxillofacial, or head and neck surgeon. Typically an incisional biopsy will be performed to diagnose the exact type of pathology. Depending on the size, diagnosis, and location, treatment can range from scooping it out, removing the lesion and a small amount of surrounding bone, all the way up to removing entire sections of the jaw.
