Mandibular simple bone cysts: a rare case of bilateral occurrence

The simple bone cyst is classified as an intraosseous bone pseudocyst; it is a pathologic cavity with no epithelial lining1,2. Most cases are asymptomatic and are found in routine radiographs1,3. The simple bone cyst comprises 1.25 % of cysts of the jaw1,3. Most are uni-locular4. Rarely more than one cyst may be found in a same patient – a few cases have been described1,3, usually associated with cemento-osseous dysplasia5. This paper is a case report of a rare case of multiple simple bone cysts in the jaw of a patient with no associated cement-osseous lesions. CASE REPOR
