Abstract :

A Stafne cyst is an asymptomatic lesion commonly located below the mandibular canal in the posterior mandible. Although we can observe mild notching along the medial surface of the mandible, in our case, aggressive resorption involved both the medial and lateral surfaces of the mandible, which led us to approach the lesion surgically, to confirm the diagnosis. Key words: Asymptomatic, Salivary gland, Submandibular gland
