Diagnosing maxillofacial pathologies is challenging as they comprise various tissues, especially the jaws, due to the presence of teeth and their remnants. However, it becomes difficult when the lesion is asymptomatic, and it is critical to rule out whether there is anatomical or pathological variation. As a result, it becomes mandatory to analyze the jawbone before considering dental treatments like implants. The current case presents a rare developmental multilocular bilateral mandibular defect, marking its first publication in the literature. Higher imaging modalities assisted in diagnosing a bilateral Stafne cyst.
