title: Unusual presentation of a Stafne bone cyst.
abstract: Mandibular radiolucencies are present in a variety of situations. These fall into developmental, metabolic, traumatic, infectious, and neoplastic categories. Differential diagnosis of these "lesions" is arrived at through signs, symptoms, history, radiographic presentation, and other diagnostic tools. This article presents the case of a 77-year-old man with an unusual radiographic presentation of the left posterior mandible.
