Abstract

Traumatic bone cyst (TBC) is an uncommon nonepithelial-lined cavity of the jaws. In the clinical diagnosis of TBC, it may be difficult to differentiate TBC from other cysts and tumors. We described a case of TBC of the mandible with magnetic resonance imaging findings, the radiological and clinical characteristics, and the surgical findings. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images provided useful information for distinguishing TBC from other cysts and tumors.
