Stafnea�(TM)s bone defect in a metastatic prostate cancer patient: A diagnostic conundrum

Abstract: Stafne’s bone defect (SBD) is an uncommon bone alteration that affects the mandible and usually presents as an asymptomatic radiolucency located in the posterior region of body or angle of the mandible, below the alveolar canal. Although clinical and radiographic features are more often sufficient for the diagnosis, other lesions and bone alterations have been described in the differential diagnosis and may lead to a misinterpretation and an incorrect diagnosis. Herein, we report a case of an 89-yearold man wi… Show more

“…In the area of the jaw angle, numerous osteolytic lesions can arise with very different biological characteristics requiring different diagnostic and therapeutic measures (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). One of these lesions is a distinct osseous cavity of unknown origin arising on the lingual site of the bone, just anterior to the mandibular angle, near the inferior border and below the molar teeth.…”
