title: [Stafne's cyst simulating a periapical cyst. Apropos 2 cases].
abstract: We report about two cases of accidental radiological discovery of a radiolucent area that seemed to be related to the apex of the teeth. The diagnosis of a cyst is contested by performing a sialographic study of the submaxillary salivary gland, which demonstrates a benign abnormality known as Stafne's lacuna.
