Stafne Bone Cyst- Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract: Stafne’s cysts is often defined as static lesions located in the angle of the mandible. Defect ranges from 0.10% to 0.48%, with a male-to-female ratio of 4 to 1. Most of these painless lesions occur in the fifth and sixth decade of life. They are round or ovoid, and their sizes vary between 0.5 cm and 2.0 cm in diameter. This lesion is easily diagnosed from the radiographs as they appear at a typical site & shape and clearly distinguished from its surroundings. CT scans & MRI scans add as important tool in confirmation of these lesions. Consequently many authors have proposed that there is no need for surgical treatment of these bony defects. This article describes the case of a 50-year-old patient, in whom a Stafne cyst showed a significant enlargement, reaching a size that necessitated surgical intervention because of the risk of pathological fracture. A literature search showed similar cases, where progression in the size of a Stafne cyst could be radio graphically documented. Consequently, the recommended management of these pseudo cysts should be reconsidered. Keywords: Stafne Bone Cyst; Idiopathic Bone Cyst; Bone Cavities; Pseudo cyst.
