Abstrakt: This report is of a patient with unusual multiple simple bone cysts. A 17-year-old Japanese man presented with 3 cystic lesions, 2 in the mandible and 1 in the left maxillary sinus. Biopsies from the mandible revealed fibrous tissue, bone, and red blood cells, which did not suggest any specific lesion. A diagnosis of multiple simple bone cysts was made. After treatment of surgical exploration, curettage, and packing, computed tomography scan showed bone regeneration. However, the lesions repeatedly recurred in the mandible. It is generally thought that the prognosis of this lesion is good. Therefore the cause of this recurrence is examined.
