Publisher: | Springer | Abstract: | Stafne bone cavity (SBC) is a rare lingual bone depression that is asymptomatic and contains salivary glands. Radiographically, an SBC is usually seen as well-defined homogenous oval radiolucency in the mandibular posterior region, below the mandibular canal. In this paper, a rare case of posterior-variant, double SBCs was presented. A 43-year old male patient was referred to our clinic with the complaint of third molar teeth. Panoramic and cone-beam computed tomographic images showed two well-defined oval radiolucencies on the left mandibular molar region, inferior to mandibular canal borders. No pain or swelling was detected in the region of the radiolucencies. Previous dental radiographs had the same images. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to evaluate the presence of salivary gland in the radiolucent contents. Images showed that the bone cavities were filled with soft tissue having a signal similar to the submandibular gland. The diagnosis was made as double SBCs and the patient was informed about the lesions. © 2020, Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/11499/37168 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00276-019-02403-8 |
