“…Lingual mandibular bone defect: imaging features in panoramic radiograph, multislice computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging INTRoDuCTIoN S tafne bone cavity or mandibular bone depression (MBD) is defined as a bone developmental defect which is filled with soft tissue, usually salivary gland [1,2] or fat tissue. MBD may present four different variants: lingual posterior [3], lingual anterior, lingual ramus and buccal ramus [4,5]. Lingual posterior variant incidence is between 0.10% and 0.48% [6] and represents the most frequently observed variant, with unique imaging features, particularly due to its classical location: bellow to the mandibular canal in mandible body.…”

“…MBDs are typically asymptomatic [4,13,14], rarely palpated [15] and are incidental findings in routine radiographic examinations [4,9,10]. Male patients are more often affected than female patients [16,17], mainly before 5th to 6th decades of life [9,11].…”

“…Male patients are more often affected than female patients [16,17], mainly before 5th to 6th decades of life [9,11]. Manifold denominations have been adopted to describe MBDs, such as latent/idiopathic/ developmental bone cavity or cortical mandibular depression [4].…”

“…The defect does not require any treatment [2] since it is not considered a pathological lesion, but a structural variation in mandible [4]. Nevertheless, regular follow-ups are strongly recommended [4,18] and biopsy should be performed only when clinical symptoms are present or in atypical cases when the diagnosis is unreliable [2]. The main concern when a MBD is detected is to distinguish the depression from other lesions which need interventional treatment.…”

Stafne bone defect or mandibular bone depression is defined as a bone developmental defect usually filled with soft or salivary gland tissue. Lingual posterior variant incidence is less than 0.5%. We reported a case of an 80 years old Asian female asymptomatic patient who underwent routine panoramic radiographic examination and a radiolucent area in mandible was noticed as an incidental finding, with an initial provisional diagnosis of traumatic bone cyst, aneurysmal bone cyst and lingual mandibular bone defect. The patient was then referred to multislice computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Computed tomography showed a hypodense area with discontinuity in mandible base. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a hyperintense image eroding mandibular body in contact with submandibular gland, which corresponded to fatty tissue and due to these imaging findings, the final diagnosis was lingual mandibular bone defect. Although the defect is a benign lesion and interventional treatment is not necessary, radiolucencies in mandible should be detailed investigated, due to their radiographic features that can resemble to other intrabony lesions. Imaging examinations can provide great defect details, especially magnetic resonance imaging, which can allow the identification of glandular tissue continuity to the mandibular defect.KeywordsBone cysts; Salivary glands; Magnetic resonance imaging; Computed tomography; Panoramic radiography.

“…This etiology is most commonly accepted and is supported by the patients 'age (4), and there are findings in which the patients had taken previous radiographs that showed no injuries. Due to controversies regarding its etiology, this injury has been called many names, including cavity or static bone defect, idiopathic bone cavity or latent bone cavity, ectopic submandibular and sublingual gland in the mandible, mandibular lingual cortical defect, defect or cavity of Stafne, and Stafne cyst (4,7,8).…”

Stafne's Defect is an asymptomatic bone lesion, most common in men between the fifth and seventh decade of life. It is characterized as radiolucent, delimited and well-defined image in the posterior region of the mandible and is usually discovered on routine radiographic examination. In this case, the patient is in the third decade of life and clinical and radiographic characteristics described were consistent with those found in academic literature. Cone beam computed tomography was used to diagnose the defect and enabled the differential diagnosis with other pathologies, avoiding unnecessary surgical procedures. Considering that it is a non-progressive change, its conservative therapy is based on the periodic control of the lesion.In this case report, it was possible to confirm that cone beam computed tomography acts as an important tool in the diagnosis of Stafne'sDefect, as it enabled the differential diagnosis in regards to other diseases, thus avoiding unnecessary surgical procedures.
