Abstract:- Solitary bone cyst (SBC) is an uncommon disorder of the jaw bones, as well as other skeletal bones, particularly the long bones. It usually occurs in the metaphyseal region of long bones comprising only around 2% of all bone cysts affecting this area. Solitary bone cyst is an asymptomatic, slow growing lesion commonly diagnosed incidentally during routine radiographic examination of the jaw bones. Its etiology is not clear and trauma has not been definitely determined to be the cause. It occurs mainly in children and young adults, and the body of the mandible is the most common site. We report a case of solitary bone cyst of the mandible in a 7 year old female child.
Keywords:- Solitary bone cyst, trauma, mandible. |
