Abstract
Clinically asymptomatic, a radiolucent area in the body of the mandible was discovered on the panoramic radiograph, during a routine examination. The first diagnosis was cyst, but sialogram and CT showed a bone defect on the lingual mandibular wall, with an accessory salivary lobe into the bone cavity, corresponding to a Stafne's idiopathic bone cavity.
