Recurrent simple bone cyst of the mandibular condyle: a case report. Cysts of the mandibular condyle are rare and can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Clinically, a simple bone cyst is asymptomatic and often discovered incidentally on routine radiographic examination. This report shows an atypical simple bone cyst occurring in the mandibular condyle showing recurrence after surgical curettage. Radiologically, this lesion involving the mandibular condyle should be distinguished from other similar lesions such as a chondroma, a central giant cell granuloma, and an aneurysmal bone cyst. Radiographic assessment was useful for forecasting the prognosis of a simple bone cyst. Possible reasons for the recurrence were discussed radiographically. koreamed.org/SearchBasic.php?RID=2080ISD%2F2013.43.1.49&DT=1&QY=%22Imaging+Sci+Dent%22+%5BJTI%5D++AND+2013+%5BDPY%5D+AND+Mar+%5BDPM%5D+AND+1+%5BISSU%5D #OralandMaxillofacialPathology #OralandMaxillofacialRadiology #OralandMaxillofacialSurgery
