Simple Bone Cyst on The Mandibular Ramus: A Case Report
Simple Bone Cyst on The Mandibular Ramus: A Case Report
Abstract: The simple bone cyst, also called traumatic bone cyst or solitary bone cyst, is an uncommon cavity ofthe jaws and occurs on the mandibular symphysis and body, but rarely on the mandibular condyle. It is generallyasymptomatic, usually detected incidentally during routine radiological assessment. This article presents a bone cysticlesion affecting the right mandibular ramus in a 11 year-old female patient with no history of previous trauma. A welldemarcated oval shaped radiolucent lesion was observed on the right mandibular ramus in panoramic radiography.The advanced imaging techniques were performed to assess the exact location of the lesion and its association withthe surrounded soft tissue. The patient underwent this cystic lesion enucleated under general anesthesia and thesurgical exploration has demonstrated the empty cavity without the epithelial layer. The postoperative panoramicradiography which was performed after 6 months of follow up showed bony formation. The simple bone cyst isa rare jawbone lesion with an unclear etiology. It is generally associated with a good prognosis and a low rate ofrecurrence. Trauma history must be questioned.
