Solitary Bone Cyst of the Jaws: A Review of the Etiopathogenic Hypotheses

Abstract: Solitary bone cysts (SBCs) of the jaws are often polymorphic, show scalloped borders when located between the teeth roots, are devoid of an epithelial lining, and are usually empty or contain blood or a straw-colored fluid. The numerous synonyms referring to these lesions reflect their uncertain nature (eg, traumatic bone cyst, simple bone cyst). SBC, also found in other skeletal locations, is often suspected after epidemiologic and radiologic test results and confirmed at surgery. Histology usually shows fibr… Show more

“…As yet, there are no completely plausible theories to explain its etiopathogenesis. The literature has most commonly accepted the hypothesis that the trauma in the altered region results in the formation of a hematoma which, unable to repair itself, instead liquefies 11 . Although this theory has been fairly well disseminated, the patient in this report did not present any history of trauma in the region of the alteration, similar to other reports 12 .…”

“…Although this theory has been fairly well disseminated, the patient in this report did not present any history of trauma in the region of the alteration, similar to other reports 12 . Other reported theories relating to SBC development include cystic degeneration of fibro-osseous lesions, vascular anomalies and altered bone metabolism [11][12] .…”

“…It is a non-neoplastic osseous lesion first described by Lucas and Blum in 1992 [1][2][3]. In 1946, diagnostic criteria specified the absence of epithelial lining and a bony wall surrounding the lesion as characteristics specific to the SBC [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Ninety percent of SBC cases are reported to be in long bones such as the proximal humerus and femur, however, simple bone cysts only comprise one percent of all cysts affecting the jaw [7].…”

“…The presence of congested capillary vessels is uncommon. 3 The sites most affected by SBCs are the long bones (90%), with a high prevalence in the metaphyseal region of the humerus and femur (65% and 25%, respectively). Jawbone lesions are less common (1%-10%).…”

“…Sometimes, a cyst or neoplasm may induce root resorption of the adjacent teeth. 2,7,8 In rare cases, SBC have been reported to heal naturally during the follow-up period. 9 However, in addition to the SBC's own set of radiographic char- The recurrence rate of SBCs has been described as greater than 20%, especially in regard to abnormal SBCs.…”
