“…3,[6][7][8] Typically, IBCs are distinguished radiographically as a unilocular or multilocular radiolucency arising between the roots and displaying a scalloped superior border. 9 The mean size of lesions is 3 cm in diameter (range 0.6-14.0 cm). 4 Infrequent findings include alveolar expansion, cortical thinning, tooth displacement, root resorption, pathologic fracture and the presence of multiple IBCs has been an isolated finding.…”

ObjectivesThis report describes an unusual case of a multilocular idiopathic bone cavity (IBC) that presented as a botryoid odontogenic cyst situated between the mandibular lateral incisor and canine in an older adult.BackgroundThe IBC represents an intraosseous concavity that appears radiographically as a unilocular or multilocular radiolucent lesion found in various skeletal sites, including the jaw. Atypical cases of gnathic IBC have not been appreciated in the gerodontologic literature.Materials and methodsThe teeth adjacent to the bony lesion had normal pulpal responses to cold. A full‐thickness flap was elevated and provided a direct entry into a bony concavity, which was devoid of an epithelial lining and fluid.ResultsThe lack of a cystic lining within the empty osseous lesion following surgical entry, concomitant with the vital pulpal status of the proximal teeth, led to a diagnosis of an IBC. The bony walls underwent curettage and copious irrigation prior to primary closure. A 10‐month follow‐up revealed partial evidence of osseous repair. The patient will continue to be monitored.ConclusionTimely surgical intervention of central lesions of the jaws may improve clinical outcomes. Variants of the IBC should be included in the differential diagnosis of multilocular lesions, particularly in the geriatric population.
