RESUMO
The case of an interesting mandibular cyst is presented. The pathogenesis of this cyst may be related to implantation of epithelial remnants in an autogenous graft to the recipient tissues during previous cosmetic surgery. With the proliferation of methods involving tissue transfer to the maxillofacial region, the possibility of the transfer of potentially pathogenic material needs to be considered.

Since the orthodontist is frequently the first clinician to be consulted for dentofacial deformity, an awareness of potential surgical procedures available to correct such deformities is imperative. Despite the fact that isolated genioplasty is becoming rare, the role the procedure plays in corrective jaw surgery is not diminished. Functional and cosmetic aspects must be considered in case planning and the flexibility of the procedure lends itself well to deformity correction in all three dimensions.
