Abstract

Herein, we present a case of static bone cavity. Results of radiological examination involving sialography in conjunction with CT are presented along with a review of the literature. Identification of the defect in the lingual mandible is necessary for the diagnosis of this abnormality, and we recognize that CT is the most appropriate examination method for the differential diagnosis of this defect. CT depicts the lesion clearly so that determination of the content is possible. Consequently, if this abnormality is suspected by conventional roentgenology such as panoramic radiography, we consider that the case should be immediately followed by CT examination.
