We report our experience with a rare case of bilateral simple bone cysts in the mandible. The patient was a 14-year-old girl referred to our clinic for further examination of radiolucent areas in the mandible, which were pointed out by her dentist. These cysts were treated by aspiration of the contents through a small drill hole in the cortical bone. Postoperatively, excellent new bone formation was demonstrated on radiographs.
