Despite a wide age range seen, in men, 5. and 6. decades seen more. The differential diagnosis of traumatic bone cyst, ossifying fibroma, benign lesions such as florid osseous dysplasia and malignant lesions such as ameloblastoma done. Supporting imaging modalities such as sialography, computerised tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be used for differantial diagnosis. The aim of this case report was to higlight the use sialography and computered tomography (CT) for detecting stafne bone cavity (SBC) and to differenciate other radiographic appearance such as cystic lession in the jaws.
