- Abstract
- Stafne bone cavity is a well demarcated defect of the mandible, usually asymptomatic and located in the posterior portion of the bone.1 Most cases have been reported in male patients between the age of 50 and 70 years.2 This lesion has been labeled with various terms, including ectopic salivary gland, idiopathic defect, mandibular salivary gland inclusion, Stafne bone cavity and cyst.2 The cavities are often filled with normal salivary gland tissue, but occasional cases showed cavity contents that included skeletal muscle, fibrous connective tissue and adipose tissue.1,2 Bilateral Stafne bone cavity of the anterior mandible is extremely rare and only seven such cases have been reported previously.2 Herein, we report a case of bilateral Stafne bone cavity of the anterior mandible. © 2014 The Korean Society of Pathologists.
