This case report details an unusual mandibular finding with three radiolucent areas. Two were diagnosed as Stafne

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Salivary gland inclusions in the mandible are rare, typically presenting unilaterally.
  • Mandibular defects can be associated with these inclusions.

Observation:

  • A dental panoramic tomogram revealed three distinct radiolucent areas in the mandible.
  • Two posterior lesions were diagnosed as Stafne's bone cavities.
  • A parasymphyseal lesion remained undiagnosed even post-surgery.

Findings:

  • Confirmed Stafne's bone cavities in the posterior mandible.
  • The parasymphyseal lesion's diagnosis was uncertain, despite surgical exploration.
  • Stafne's bone cavities are the most probable diagnosis for the parasymphyseal lesion due to known occurrence in this region.

Implications:

  • Highlights the diagnostic challenges of rare mandibular lesions.
  • Emphasizes the importance of considering Stafne's bone cavities in parasymphyseal radiolucencies.
  • Suggests further investigation may be needed for atypical presentations of Stafne's bone cavities.
