Stafne bone cyst is a well-defined radiolucent cavity that is usually found as an incidental finding in the radiographic examination. In this article, a rare case of anterior stafne bone cyst is reported that resembled a radicular cyst, but Cone-Beam Computed Tomography images revealed a bone defect. Therefore, advanced images such as Cone-Beam Computed Tomography should be considered for better diagnosis and to prevent unnecessary treatment. %> http://3dj.gums.ac.ir/article-1-284-en.pdf %P 83-88 %& 83 %! %9 Original article %L A-10-1-137 %+ Postgraduate Student of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, Dental Science Research Center, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, School of Dentistry, Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Rasht, Iran. %G eng %@ %[ 2017
