Traumatic Bone Cyst in Mandibular Symphysis in a 14-Year-Old Girl: A Case Report

Traumatic Bone Cyst (TBC) is an intraosseous cyst which is uncommon in jaws. Present report proceeds to a case of TBC developed in mandibular symphysis area.
The case was a 14-year-old girl who was seen with a unilocular radiolucent lesion with extention to interradicular zones in mandibular symphysis in her panoramic radiography. The patient didn''t have any clinical symptoms or signs. The radiographic view and observing a blood-filled bone cavity during surgery made the diagnosis of TBC definite for us. The lesion healed after surgical intervention.
Confronting radiolucent lesions extending to interradicular zones in mandible especially in young people¡ TBC should be considered as a differential diagnosis.
