title: Median mandibular cyst.
abstract: Since the median mandibular cyst is an extremely rare lesion, there is difficulty in determining the nature and origin of this entity. An additional case of a median mandibular cyst is described and an attempt is made to clarify the confusion associated with the diagnosis of this lesion. After a review of the literature it is suggested that the median mandibular cyst is a much rarer entity than was previously believed.
