| Popis: | Simple bone cysts are known as pseudocysts and are thought to arise due to growth or developmental abnormalities, but few reports have been published on this phenomenon. We here report a rare case of a left-sided simple bone cyst in a patient with first and second branchial arch syndrome. This 13-year-old girl had regularly visited the orthodontic department for follow up of a jaw deformity and malocclusion since the age of 4 years. She reported to our department for examination of a radiolucent area in the computed tomography images of the middle to left side of the mandible, which had been found incidentally during orthodontic follow-up. Her facial features were asymmetric due to hypoplasia of the jaw. There was a bone-like bulge, without pain, at the labial gingiva around the left lower canine. She had not experienced trauma. We diagnosed this as a simple bone cyst after biopsy. Under general anesthesia, we performed curettage and promoted organizing. At 6 months after the operation, the radiolucent area had been partially replaced with new bone. This is a rare case indicating that a simple bone cyst can arise from a hypoplastic area of the jaw. |
