Bilateral osteoporotic bone marrow defects of the mandible: a case report

Abstract: Osteoporotic bone marrow defect of the jaws has been reported as a poorly demarcated radiolucency that affect mainly posterior mandible of middle-aged woman. The incidence of this condition is not exactly established and its pathogenesis remains unknown. An additional unusual case of osteoporotic bone marrow defects occurring bilaterally in the mandibular edentulous regions of a 32-year-old white woman is presented reinforcing its diagnostic criteria and histopathological findings.

“…Since from a radiographic point of view, it is considered a well-defined radiolucency and also considering that those defects are seldom included in the differential diagnosis of radiolucent areas of the jaws; full knowledge of the pathological (clinical, radiographic and histological) is important in order to establish differential diagnosis from lesions including: ameloblastoma, keratocystic odontogenic tumor, developmental or inflammatory odontogenic cyst, and simple bone cyst (SBC); therefore an adequate treatment planning could be performed (Bravo-Calderon et al;Chrysomali et al, 2013;Almeida et al, 2014).…”
