Słowa kluczowe
Abstrakcyjny
Though it is not unusual to observe sub-mylohyoidal mandibular cavities in relation to the submaxillary or sublingual (Stafnes cavities) salivary lobules, it is extremely rare to see an intramandibular salivary cyst in the region of the incisors. The salivary origin of the cyst was established after demonstrating amylase in the cyst fluid contents. The radiological diagnosis could have been a globulomaxillary cyst (usually noted between the incisor and canine teeth), a peridontal cyst from a live tooth, or a keratocyst (epidermoid cyst). This could be a salivary form of a globulomaxillary cyst.
