Stafne下颌骨腔

定义

虽然通常被称为Stafne囊肿，但并非真正的囊肿，而是由下颌骨内侧局灶性皮质缺损形成的空腔。最常见于中年男性，通常放射检查时被偶然发现。其重要性在于它可能难以与下颌骨的其他透光性病变（如骨髓瘤或转移性鳞癌）相区别。该空腔通常由部分颌下腺或邻近脂肪填充，被认为是由邻近唾液组织对骨骼进行重塑所致。Stafne囊肿最常见于中年男性。 估计患病率约为0.10-0.48%2。病理学上，Stafne囊肿被认为是由邻近唾液组织对骨骼的重塑引起，并在附近腺体切除后出现退行性变。通常出现在下颌第一磨牙和下颌角6之间的区域。

Although commonly called a Stafne cyst, this entity is not a true cyst but rather a cavity due to a focal cortical defect of the medial aspect of the mandible. It is found most frequently in middle-aged men and is usually discovered radiologically as an incidental finding. Its importance is that it may be difficult to distinguish from other radiolucent lesions in the mandible such as myeloma or metastatic squamous carcinoma. The cavity is usually filled by part of the submandibular salivary gland or adjacent fat and it is thought to result from remodelling of the bone by adjacent salivary tissue. Stafne cysts are most frequently seen in middle-aged men. The estimated prevalence ranges around 0.10-0.48%. Pathology: Stafne cysts are thought to result from remodelling of the bone by adjacent salivary tissue, and have been noted to regress following resection of the gland nearby. They generally appear in the area between the mandibular first molar and the mandibular angle 6.
