Abstract :
The jaws may present different benign or malignant lesions of various origins. Diagnosis is generally determined based on their specific clinical and radiological characteristics and confirmed histologically. However, the coexistence of two lesions in the same region sometimes requires diagnostic caution and specific additional investigations in order to refine the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment. That’s motivate this work which consisted to report a case of the association of submandibular sialolithiasis and solitary bone cyst in the same side of the jaw.
This case highlights the value of detailed clinical examination and the role of 3D X-Ray in the simultaneous diagnosis of salivary and osseous pathologies and emphasizes a rare association, underlining the necessity of adequate specific management of each lesion.
Key-words : sialolithiasis, solitary bone cyst, diagnostic, therapeutic, radiographies.
