“…However, periodic radiographic evaluation is necessary to assess any pathological and dimensional changes. 3 We report a case of SBC in Central Indian population, which was an incidental finding in a 65-year old male patient who presented to department with pain due to Periapical abscess.…”

“…2 It is thought to be a normal anatomical variation. 3 Synonyms for SBC are as follows: "Stafne bone cavity", "latent bone cyst", "aberrant salivary gland defect", "developmental bone defect of the mandible", "idiopathic bone cavity", or "cortical mandibular depression". As it is a pseudocyst it is filled with salivary gland tissue, fat, blood vessels, lymphoid tissue, connective tissue, muscles, etc.Depression from hypertrophic lobe of salivary gland, vascular compression, incomplete fusion of Meckel's cartilage during ossification are some suggested etiological theories for SBC.…”

Stafne’s bone cyst (SBC) is a rare, asymptomatic, unilateral oval shaped radiolucent defect mostly in the posterior region of the mandible below the inferior alveolar canal. This report describes a case of SBC in Central Indian Population, which was an incidental finding in a 65-year old male patient who presented with pain. This article also highlights the literature, differential diagnosis along with use of various diagnostic imaging resources, imaging features and management for this bone defect and adds a new Indian case to literature.

“…In rare cases, it is observed in the apical region of the premolars or canines in the anterior mandible. 3 Between 0.10% and 6.06% of cases have been reported to have the posterior variant SBC. 4,5 It usually affects one side of the mandible, though it can potentially happen on the other side.…”

Stafne Bone Cysts (SBC) represent pseudocysts of the jaw, typically characterized by their presence at the lingual cortical surface and involvement of normal salivary gland tissue. These cysts, devoid of an epithelial lining, exhibit a diverse composition, comprising blood vessels, muscle, fat, connective tissue, lymphatic tissue, nerve bundles, or air. Commonly, SBCs manifest without clinical symptoms or signs, necessitating radiographic methods for diagnosis. They are usually discovered incidentally on routine radiographs of the jaw. We here present a 50-year-old male with pain in the mandibular left side and a routine panoramic radiograph showed impacted mandibular third molars on both sides and a well-defined radiolucency below the inferior alveolar canal on the left side. An incidental finding of Stafne’s bone cyst was made on further investigation on Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). While conventional X-rays serve as the primary diagnostic tool, complex cases may require more precise imaging modalities, such as CBCT. This case study offers a comprehensive analysis of a unilateral SBC identified in a male patient with an emphasis on the radiographic features.

Stafne first described the term “Stafne bone defects” (SBDs) in 1942. These are unilateral, asymptomatic, well-defined radiolucent lingual bony defects located at the posterior region of the mandible below the inferior alveolar canal. It is most commonly seen in the posterior region, whereas it is relatively rare in the anterior region. This anterior variant of SBD is often misdiagnosed as any other odontogenic cyst, and hence advanced imaging techniques should be followed to identify it at the earliest. Due to the lower prevalence of this entity, only a handful of cases have been documented for the anterior variant of SBD. In this paper, we have thus documented the rare variant of SBD in the anterior region.
