Solitary bone cyst of the mandible is an intra-osseous cavity lacking epithelial lining considered a pseudocyst. Due to its uncertain etiology and pathogenesis, it has received several names such as traumatic bone cyst or idiopathic bone cyst. From a clinical perspective, it is oftentimes an asymptomatic lesion, with festooned borders when located between dental roots. It is an empty cavity but might contain blood, serous or serous-hematic fluid and can be perceived in routine X-ray examinations. The present article describes the case of a solitary bone cyst located in the body of the mandible of a 17-year old female patient. Afflicted with Fallot's tetralogy. Clinical, diagnostic and radiologic aspects as well as treatment are described.

Palabras llave : Simple bone cyst; solitary bone cyst; traumatic bone cyst; haemorrhagic bone cyst; single chamber bone cyst; extravasation bone cyst; idiopathic bone cavity; progressive bone cavity.
