The incidence of anterior Stafne bone cyst (lingual mandibular bone defect, static bone cyst, latent bone cyst,
developmental submandibular gland defect of the mandible) has been estimated to between 0.009% and 0.3%. It is characterized
by a round or ovoid, well-defined border, unilocular radiolucency. Most of anterior Stafne bone defects were located between the
cuspid and the first molar, but a few cases have been reported in the incisor area. Case Report: We present a 48-year-old man with
anterior Stafne bone defect in the incisor area diagnosed by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Discussion: CBCT
can be a confirmatory imaging technique to detect anterior mandibular bony configurations such as Stafne bone cavity with the
lingual cortical plate being spared.
