“…The patients with SC are usually asymptomatic and therefore the diagnosis is frequently made on routine oral radiographic examinations (3-6). Although some reports describe cases with bilateral presentation or with ante-rior defects, typically these lesions are unilateral and are located in the posterior area of the mandible, below the mandibular canal (2,5).…”

“…Despite the many existing theories, up to now, its etiopathogeny is not yet fully understood although most authors concur that this cavity might be related with the pressure exerted by the submandibular gland on the lingual mandibular plate (2,3,6-8). In fact, one of the main radiological features of SC is the lingual origin of the lesion, and to our knowledge no cases with buccal mandibular plate involvement have been published to date.…”

Lingual mandibular bone defects, also known as Stafne bone cavity (SC), are unilateral asymptomatic radiolucencies, generally seen in the mandibular angle, below the inferior alveolar canal. Although panoramic radiographies normally offer enough information to make a correct diagnosis, additional studies are often required, especially in atypical cases. The present report describes an atypical presentation of a Stafne’s bone cavity in a 78 years-old male patient. In this particular case, an asymptomatic and radiolucid lesion was observed during a routine dental examination. The computed tomography (CT) showed an involvement of both lingual and buccal mandibular plates producing a tunnel-like lesion. No history of mandibular trauma or surgery was refered. An additional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was made to discard submandibular gland pathology and to confirm the diagnosis. Since SC is asymptomatic and nonprogressive, a conservative approach based in clinical and radiological follow-ups was considered to be the most suitable treatment option. Key words:Stafne bone cavity, lingual mandibular bone defect, case report.

A case of a female child born at full term after normal vaginal delivery with bilateral secondary complete cleft palate and vomerine hamartoma mimicking intra-oral midline encephalocoele. Radiologically the tumour was confined to the vomer without intra-cranial extension. The lesion was occupying the oral cavity causing feeding problem. Surgical excision of the tumour at the age of six months and two flaps palatoplasty at the age of twelve months were performed. On histopathology the lesion turned out to be a lipomatous hamartoma of a benign nature. The child was followed for 9 years with no evidence of recurrence and a satisfactory speech. To our knowledge this is the first report of cleft palate with vomerine hamartoma in the English literature.

“…After Stafne, many researchers and clinicians reported on the different appearances of lingual mandibular depressions, and recommended methods for their interpretation and evaluation (Reuter, 1998; Apruzzese & Longoni, 1999; Branstetter et al ., 1999; Katz et al ., 2001; de Courten et al ., 2002; Dorman & Pierse, 2002; Philipsen et al ., 2002; Drage et al ., 2003; Campos et al ., 2004; Queiroz et al ., 2004; Quesada‐Gomez et al ., 2006; Segev et al ., 2006; Shimizu et al ., 2006). Although, there are many clinical reports on Stafne's bone defects there are, to our knowledge, only a few that report on the presence of this condition in skeletons deriving from archaeological contexts, Table 1 (Finnegan & Marcsik, 1980; Graham, 1980; Mann, 1990; Mann & Tsaknis, 1991; Mann & Shields, 1992; Shields, 2000; Lukacs & Rodriguez Martin, 2002; Masnicova & Benus, 2003; Jordana et al ., 2007).…”

Salivary gland inclusions in the mandible are relatively uncommon in recent as well as archaeological populations. This condition is well known to oral surgeons, but less so to anthropologists, osteologists and skeletal biologists. At present a limited number of reports pertaining to this condition in ancient populations are available in anthropological and palaeopathological literature, although scattered reports of cases in recent populations are found in dental journals. This paper analyses the prevalence of Stafne's bone defect in a large composite Croatian archaeological series (n ¼ 4250 mandibles), and reports on two cases in which computerised tomography was performed, in order to draw the attention of anthropologists, osteologists and skeletal biologists to this condition when faced with differential diagnosis of odontogenic lesions, cysts and neoplasms in the area of the angle of the mandible.
