A rare case of stafne bone cavity including adipose tissue
Abstract
Stafne bone cavities are firstly reported by Stafne in the angle of mandibles in1942. These cavities are usually located at the lingual side in the area between the mandibular first molar and the mandibular angle, and are not considered rare. They are usually unilateral and casually diagnosed during routine radiographic examination. One of their primary radiological diagnostic features is the characteristic location below the mandibular canal. Because of the diagnostic mixtures between the Stafne bone cavities and other radiolucent lesions, detailed visualization procedures are essential. The Dental Computerized Tomography (DCT) scan is suggested as the most suitable noninvasive diagnostic and follow-up modality for this bony configuration in the posterior mandible. Magnetic Resonans Imagenes (MRI) findings give detailed information to the surgeons about the content of the these cavities. In this paper, we present a rare case of Stafne Bone Cavity which has fatty content. Its differential diagnosis was carried out with DCT and MRI.
