Abstract

Stafne Bone Cavity (SBC), first described by Stafne in 1942, is a developmental anomaly that usually contains salivary gland tissue and has a concave structure in the bone. The prevalence is high in males and in 5-7. decades of life. This pseudocyst is often found below the inferior alveolar nerve and in the mandibular lingual cortex. It is observed as an oval or round shaped radiolucent area with well defined borders on panoramic radiographs. Although SBC does not cause any symptoms in patients, it is usually detected incidentally in routine radiographic examinations. There is no need for biopsy for its diagnosis and no surgical intervention for its treatment, routine radiographic follow-up is sufficient for patient management. The aim of this case series is to present the cases of SBC detected in routine dental examination in 3 different patients.

Stafne Kemik Kavitesi: Vaka Serisi

Abstract

İlk kez 1942 yılında Stafne tarafından tanımlanan Stafne Kemik Kavitesi(SKK); genellikle içeriğinde tükürük bezi dokusu bulunduran, kemikte içbükey yapıya sahip gelişimsel bir anomalidir. Erkek cinsiyetinde ve yaşamın 5-7. dekatlarında görülme prevalansı yüksektir. Bu psödokiste sıklıkla inferior alveolar sinirin altında ve mandibular lingual kortekste rastlanılır. Panoramik radyografta oval veya yuvarlak şekilli, sınırları belirgin radyolüsent alan olarak izlenir. SKK hastalarda herhangi bir semptom vermemekle birlikte genellikle rutin radyografik muayenelerde rastlantısal tespit edilir. Teşhisinde biyopsiye ve tedavisinde herhangi bir cerrahi girişime ihtiyaç yoktur, rutin radyografik takip hasta idamesinde yeterlidir. Bu vaka serisinin amacı 3 farklı hastada rutin dental muayenede tespit edilen SKK olgularını sunmaktır.
