Radiology

Background:

Periapical radiolucencies can present with various etiologies, necessitating accurate diagnosis.
Traumatic bone cysts are uncommon intraosseous jaw lesions, often asymptomatic.

Observation:

An unusual asymptomatic periapical radiolucency was identified around the upper right lateral incisor.
Surgical exploration revealed an empty bone cavity consistent with a traumatic bone cyst.

Findings:

The lesion was diagnosed as a traumatic bone cyst based on surgical findings.
Radiographic follow-up over six years demonstrated complete spontaneous healing of the bone cavity.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering traumatic bone cysts in the differential diagnosis of periapical radiolucencies.
