Abstract

A 27-year-old male patient was referred by his dentist to a department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, because of a radiolucent lesion in the mandibular angle. There were no clinical signs or symptoms. The orthopantomogram showed a sharp, demarcated, oval (1.5 x 2.5 cm), unilocular radiolucency caudal of the mandibular canal. Additional radiographic evaluation (CT scan, sialogram) revealed an oval depression in the lingual cortex of the mandible filled with salivary gland tissue. The diagnosis Stafne defect was made. At radiographic follow-up after 1 year, no progression of the lesion was seen. Treatment is not needed.
