Abstract
Despite their names, simple bone cysts are no longer categorized as cysts since they lack an
epithelial lining. However, their nature remains controversial. The internal structure is totally
radiolucent, sometimes showing multilocular appearance, although the lesion does not contain
true septa and the ridges of bone is produced by the scalloping effect. We presented two cases
of histopathologically confirmed simple bone cyst. Radiographic features such as multilocular
appearance and significant buccal and lingual expansion are not usual findings for simple bone
cyst, whereas evident in our presented cases.
