Abstract:

Stafne bone cavity (SBC) is a type of well-defined mandibular defect or cavity change located on the lingual side of the mandible and is usually not accompanied by sensory abnormalities. Clinically, SBC cases are incidentally discovered during radiographic examinations in the course of dental treatment. As a result, the actual incidence of SBC may be higher than the reported figures. Due to the rarity of SBC and its tendency of being misdiagnosed, patients may undergo unnecessary tests, leading to increased healthcare costs, radiation exposure, and psychological burden, and in some cases, potentially delaying treatment. This article reports a case of SBC and conducts a literature review to arouse the attention and awareness of stomatologists, thereby improving the recognition and diagnostic accuracy of this condition.

Key words: Stafne bone cavity, diagnose, differential diagnosis

摘要：

下颌骨发育性缺损（Stafne bone cavity，SBC）是一种好发于下颌骨舌侧、界限清楚的下颌骨缺损或空腔性改变，通常不伴有感觉异常。临床上，大多数病例是在牙科治疗期间通过放射学检查偶然发现的，因此实际发病率可能高于已报道的数字。由于SBC罕见且容易被误诊，患者可能会因此接受不必要的检查，导致增加医疗费用和辐射暴露，同时加重心理负担，甚至可能延误治疗。本文报告了1例SBC病例，并进行文献回顾，旨在引起口腔科医生的关注与重视，提高对该疾病的认识和诊断水平。
