In an 80-year-old man, a radiolucent laesion was seen on the panoramic radiograph of the right mandible. The localisation of the radiolucent laesion under the mandibular canal and the additional finding of fatty tissue or submandibular salivary gland in the concavity on the cone beam computed tomography are virtually probative for a Stafne cyst.

Surgical Exploration of Lingual Mandibular Bone Depression (Stafne Bone Cavity).

Lingual mandibular bone depression, also known as the Stafne bone cavity, commonly presents as an asymptomatic unilocular cyst-like radiolucency located below the mandibular canal. Surgical exploration of this lesion is relatively rare in the literature. A 49-year-old male was admitted to the hospital for a space-occupying lesion located in the right mandibular angle region and was performed surgical exploration.

Background: Salivary gland bone defects are static lesions which are rare entities, generally asymptomatic and found in routine imaging exams. However, in atypical cases or when misdiagnosed, surgical intervention is carried out. Purpose: a) The study is intended to investigate the frequency of SBC's and to describe the radiological characteristics of its subtypes; b) To evaluate the efficacy of volumetric analysis tool in CBCT and; c) To describe the confirmative role of CBCT in the diagnosis of SBC's without the need for surgical intervention.

Stafne's bone defect is a developmental anatomic bone defect in the lingual side of the mandible in the area of the mandibular angle that is filled with proliferation or translocation of adjacent structures such as salivary gland tissue. The etiology is still undefined, and two hypotheses are proposed: one is the glandular related to the submandibular or sublingual glands and the second is ischemic that affects the vascularization of the mandibular lingual. Usually, Stafne's bone defect is accidentally detected on panoramic radiographs during dental treatments as a well-limited radiolucency image with a clear peripheral regular condensation border, located below the mandibular canal.

Article Synopsis
- Lingual mandibular bone depression (LMBD) is a non-surgical bony defect in the mandible that can be mistaken for cysts or other lesions on X-rays, highlighting the need for a reliable diagnostic method.* -
- This study created a deep learning model using the EfficientDet algorithm to automatically distinguish LMBD from actual pathological lesions based on panoramic radiographs, utilizing a dataset reflecting real clinical conditions.* -
- The model demonstrated outstanding accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity over 99.8%, indicating it can effectively assist dental professionals in making precise diagnoses, thereby reducing unnecessary treatments and exams.*
Anatomical Variants Identified on Computed Tomography of Oropharyngeal Carcinoma Patients.

Anatomical variations in the head, neck and chest are common, and are observed as occasional findings on computed tomography (CT). Although anatomical variations are mostly asymptomatic and do not cause any negative influence on the body function, they may jeopardize diagnosis and may be confused with pathological conditions. The presence of variations may also limit surgical access during tumor removal.
