Stafne’s Bone Defect Correlated with Submandibular Glands: A Case Report and CBCT and MRI Analysis

Figure 3

(a) Axial T1 FSE shows that the mandibular defect (red arrows) is filled with soft tissue in continuity with and has the same signal intensity with the submandibular gland (SG). The contralateral gland (SG) is marked for comparison. (b) The right mandible defect was again identified with the axial T2 FS, and it contains soft tissue that was continuous with the adjacent submandibular gland (red arrows) and was identical in signal intensity to the left gland (SG). (c) Coronal T1 FSE shows that the bony defect (red arrows) contains an extension of the submandibular gland.
