title: [Multiple mandibular radiolucencies in an asymptomatic girl].
abstract: Routine dental radiographic examination in a 16-year-old girl revealed the presence of 3 well-defined radiolucent cystlike structures in the mandible. After clinical and radiological examination, a multiple traumatic bone cyst was diagnosed. Surgical exploration confirmed the diagnosis. Curettage of the lesions was performed. Fifteen months later, a panoramic radiograph showed almost complete ossification.
