CRUZ SANCHEZ, Rosa Elizabeth; CALDERON UBAQUI, Víctor; TREVEJO BOCANEGRA, Ana Paola e MERCADO PORTAL, Nelson Edilbrando. Imagenological control of a simple bone cyst: case report. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.3, pp.195-200. ISSN 1019-4355. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.20453/reh.v28i3.3397.
The simple bony cyst (SBCs) is considered a pseudocyst because it does not have epithelial lining tissue. This lesion is more frequent in male patients, mainly affecting the lower jaw, involving the posterior mandibular area more frequently and also the symphysial area. Some authors have related it to trauma or cystic degeneration leaving an empty bone cavity. Its diagnosis is usually by radiological finding, presenting as a well-defined or irregular unilocular or multilocular radiolucent image, with thin corticalized edges. Its main characteristic is the scalloping surrounding the roots of the teeth. In this article, we present a male patient of 21 years, who was detected incidentally through the panoramic radiography a cystic lesion. After 2 years of imaging follow-up, the decrease in the lesion was evidenced.The purpose of this report is to present the imaging characteristics of simple bone cysts.
