Abstract

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.
