Does Radiolucency in the Posterior Mandible below the Mandibular Canal Signify a Stafne Cyst — A Rare Case Report With a Diagnostic Challenge
Journal Title: Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
A Stafne cyst is an asymptomatic lesion commonly located below the mandibular canal in the posterior mandible. Although we can observe mild notching along the medial surface of the mandible, in our case, aggressive resorption involved both the medial and lateral surfaces of the mandible, which led us to approach the lesion surgically, to confirm the diagnosis
