Two cases of static bone cavity are reported in this paper along with a review of the literature. Two men, one aged 51 and the other 44 years, visited our hospital each for an examination of a well-demarcated monolocular radiolucent half-dome formed lesion, located below the inferior dental canal between the mandibular angle and the first retromolar. In both cases, the lesion was found during dental treatment. The radiographic findings of these lesions indicated static bone cavity. As the cavity was diagnosed a static bone cavity, surgical intervention was not warranted. However, as the lesion may be a tumor, careful observation was recommended to prevent misdiagnosis with tumor.
