["Empty cysts" of the jaws]

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Empty cysts, benign jaw lesions, are often found incidentally. This study suggests their actual incidence is higher than reported, and they are stable, questioning the need for surgery when imaging is definitive.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Empty cysts (EC), also termed traumatic or hemorrhagic cysts, are benign, often asymptomatic oral lesions.
    • Their epidemiology, etiology, and clinical presentation are subjects of ongoing debate.
    • This study aims to reconcile literature findings with personal experience regarding EC characteristics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare existing literature on empty cysts with a retrospective analysis of personal case data.
    • To highlight unique aspects of empty cysts, including semantic, clinical, and radiological features.
    • To provide a comprehensive perspective on these enigmatic lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 45 osteolytic lesions identified as empty cysts from 30,000 patients over 5 years.

  • Utilized various radiographic techniques including orthopantomography, occlusal, periapical, and panoramic radiographs, with CT scans in 4 cases.
  • Evaluated parameters such as trauma history, symptoms, lesion location, dimensions, and radiographic appearance.

    • Main Results:

    • 44 out of 45 ECs were located in the mandible, predominantly distal to the canines (67%).
    • Trauma was noted in 4 cases; adjacent tooth displacement occurred in 4 cases without root resorption.
    • Lesion morphology varied (oval/round, 37 monolocular, 8 plurilocular), with cortical displacement in 17 cases but no pathological fractures. Growth was not observed in follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Personal findings suggest a higher incidence of ECs than reported in literature, with a notable presence of symptoms and trauma history.
    • Empty cysts demonstrate significant stability, leading to questions about the necessity of surgical intervention when radiographic diagnosis is certain.
    • The study underscores the importance of integrating clinical experience with literature for a better understanding of empty cysts.
