What is a pseudo-cyst?
What is a pseudo-cyst?
A fluid-filled cavity within bone that is not lined by epithelium, often caused by trauma or inflammation. They are classified as either traumatic or developmental.
What's the difference between a true cyst and a pseudo-cyst?
What's the difference between a true cyst and a pseudo-cyst?
True cysts have a lining made of epithelial cells, while pseudo-cysts have a lining of granulation and/or fibrous tissue.
What is a traumatic pseudo-cyst?
What is a traumatic pseudo-cyst?
A type of pseudo-cyst caused by trauma and the failure of blood clots to organize and repair.

Pseudo Cyst Overview
- Pseudo cysts are pathologic spaces, not lined by epithelium.
- They are filled with fluid or semi-solid material.
- They are unlike true cysts, which have a clearly defined epithelial cell layer.
Pseudo Cyst Types
- Classification: Pseudo cysts can be further classified as Traumatic or Developmental.
- Traumatic Pseudo Cysts: Can be Aneurysmal, or Traumatic in nature.
- Developmental Pseudo Cysts: Are associated with static bone cyst and bone marrow defects
- Etiology and Pathogenesis (Traumatic): Result from injury and hemorrhage within the bone. Failure of clot organization and repair leads to pseudo cyst formation.
Pseudo Cyst Clinial Characteristics
- Age: Typically between 10 and 20 years old.
- Location: Primarily in the mandible, often in the premolar-molar region.
- Sex: More frequent in females.
- Manifestations: Usually asymptomatic, discovered accidentally. Often associated with vital teeth. May appear as an empty cavity upon surgical inspection.
Radiographic Features
- Appearance: Well-defined radiolucent area without noticeable sclerotic rim. Projections have a scalloped upward appearance between the roots of teeth.
- Root Resorption: No root resorption of related teeth is expected.
Histopathological Features
- Structure: Empty spaces of varying sizes. Rough, bony walls. Can sometimes contain small amounts of fluid.
- Surrounding Tissue: Surrounded by thin bands of vascular, fibrous connective tissue. Occasionally, multinucleated giant cells may be present.
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst
-
Etiology and Pathogenesis: Most likely a reactive lesion to vascular malformation (arteriovenous shunt) rather than a cystic process.
-
Secondary Development: Can develop secondary to disrupted blood flow in a pre-existing bone lesion, such as a central giant cell tumor.
-
Clinical Features: Observed in patients between 10-20 years. Commonly found in the shafts of long bones and less often near the jaw, especially the posterior mandibular area. The condition appears as rapidly growing swelling. Frequently is accompanied by pain or paresthesia.
-
Imaging (radiographically): Multilocular radiolucencies exhibiting cortical thinning and bone expansion. A "soap bubble" appearance.
-
Microscopically: Spaces of varying sizes filled with unclotted blood. Surrounded by cellular fibroblastic tissue. The wall contains multinucleated giant cells and osteoid tissue.
Static Bone Cyst (Stafne's Defect)
- Definition: Developmental focal concavity in the lingual cortex of the mandible (usually around the third molar area), typically below the inferior alveolar canal.
- Etiology and Pathogenesis: Entrapment of submandibular salivary gland tissue during jaw development.
- Clinical Features: Primarily found in adults (80-90% of cases are in adults). Posterior defects are located where submandibular glands are attached. Lesion size remains stable over time
- Radiographic: Well-defined, unilocular radiolucent area in the mandible. Often unilateral
- No biopsy required. CT and sialogram scans can aid diagnosis.
Mucous Extravasation Cyst
- Etiology: Result of trauma to the minor salivary gland duct.
- Mechanism: Duct rupture causing saliva to spill into the tissue instead of the oral cavity.
- Microscopic Appearance: Rounded pool of mucus. Found within fibrous connective tissue. Inflammatory cells (macrophages) are also present; they contain phagocytized mucus.
