In this paper, a case of parotid Stafne defect, which was incidentally discovered during dental radiographic examination, is reported. This bone defect was observed as a lucent oval-shaped defect on the lingual aspect of the right mandibular ramus. Parotid Stafne bone defect is a rare entity that should not be misinterpreted by radiologists.
