The World Health Organization classifies simple bone cyst as a non-neoplastic lesion related to bones, defined as an intraosseous cyst, which features a thin capsule. Its etiology remains unknown, and the most accepted explanation is related to the history of trauma. It is in most cases clinically asymptomatic and the diagnosis is often established through routine radiographic examination. The objective of this study is to report a case of a simple bone cyst in the left mandible region in a young patient underwent imaging examinations for follow-up orthodontic treatment.The patient attended the Maxillofacial Traumatology Surgery Service showing circumscribed unilocular radiolucent lesion, in the left mandible region.Reported no significant swelling or pain symptoms. Excisional biopsy was performed and histopathological findings showed bone tissue associated with a thin membrane of connective tissue, and absence of epithelial lining. Today, after two years of surgical treatment, there is no evidence of recurrence.
ResumoA Organização Mundial de Saúde classifica o cisto ósseo simples como uma lesão não neoplásica relacionada aos ossos, sendo definida como um cisto intraósseo que apresenta uma cápsula tênue. A sua etiologia permanece desconhecida, sendo que a explicação mais aceita estaria relacionada à história de trauma. É, na maioria dos casos, clinicamente assintomático e o diagnóstico muitas vezes é estabelecido através do exame radiográfico de rotina. O objetivo do presente trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de cisto ósseo simples, em região mandibular esquerda em um paciente jovem, submetido a exames imaginológicos para fins de acompanhamento do tratamento ortodôntico. O paciente compareceu a um Serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial apresentando lesão radiolúcida de grandes proporções unilocular, circunscrita, em região mandibular esquerda. Não relatou sintomatologia dolorosa ou tumefação significativa. Foi realizada biópsia excisional e os achados histopatológicos exibiram tecido ósseo associado a uma fina membrana de tecido conjuntivo fibroso, e com ausência de revestimento epitelial. Atualmente, após 2 anos do tratamento cirúrgico, não há evidências de recidiva da lesão. Palavras-chave:Cisto ósseo simples; Mandíbula.
