Abstract
A traumatic bone cyst is a pathological formation of complex aetiology. Adequate diagnosis and treatment are additionally complicated by the broad palette of other pathological processes in the area of the jaw, which can differentially diagnostically be considered. Characteristically, in the case of a TBC a typical finding for a cyst will not be found, i.e. in the histopathological analysis cystic epithelia in the form of a cystic sheath will not be present. In the case history it is possible to disclose trauma in the affected area. TBC shows characteristic radiolucent areas on the radiograph, and most frequently does not have symptoms. This study presents a review of literature and basic characteristics of TBC. A typical finding during the operation, the PHD result and correct recording of the case history, together with a good knowledge of differential diagnostics will enable realisation of successful treatment of the patient.
