Abstract

Stafne bone cysts (SBC) are rare, small, well-demarcated, and radiolucent lesions that usually occur below the mandibular canal near the mandibular angle. Despite several theories, the etiopathogenesis of SBC remains unknown. As SBCs usually show no clinical signs, radiographic evaluation is the first stage of the diagnostic process. When the lesions are atypical, as in our instance, correct differential diagnosis is critical. This case study presents an unusual Type I SBC in a 66 year old man and reviews relevant literature.
