Traumatic Bone Cysts

Traumatska koštana cista (TKC) patološka je tvorba složene etiologije. Prikladnu dijagnozu i liječenje dodatno komplicira i široka paleta drugih patoloških promjena u čeljusti koji diferencijalno dijagnostički dolaze u obzir. Karakteristično je da kod TKC-a nećemo naći tipičan nalaz za cistu, tj. u patohistološkoj raščlambi neće biti cističnog epitela u obliku cistične ovojnice. U anamnezi je moguće otkriti traumu u zahvaćenom području. TKC pokazuje karakteristično prosvjetljenje na rendgenogramu i najčešće ne daje simptome. U ovome radu prikazan je pregled literature i osnovne značajke TKC-a. Tipičan nalaz u tijeku operacije, rezultat patohistološke dijagnoze (PHD) i pravilno uzeta anamneza, uz dobro poznavanje diferencijalne dijagnostike, pomoći će nam uspješno liječiti pacijenta.A traumatic bone cyst is a pathological formation of complex aetiology. Adequate diagnosis and treatment are additionally complicated by the broad palette of other pathological processes in the area of the jaw, which can differentially diagnostically be considered. Characteristically, in the case of a TBC a typical finding for a cyst will not be found, i.e. in the histopathological analysis cystic epithelia in the form of a cystic sheath will not be present. In the case history it is possible to disclose trauma in the affected area. TBC shows characteristic radiolucent areas on the radiograph, and most frequently does not have symptoms. This study presents a review of literature and basic characteristics of TBC. A typical finding during the operation, the PHD result and correct recording of the case history, together with a good knowledge of differential diagnostics will enable realisation of successful treatment of the patient
