RESUMO
In a five and a half year-old child, a voluminous mandibular cyst was discovered by a dental check-up. The originality of this case consisted in the great volume of this asymptomatic lesion and the anterior localization in the mandible. Treatment was surgical, conserving the deciduous teeth and the underlying germs. The histopathological examination of the lesion confirmed the clinical and radiological aspects of follicular cyst. A regular clinical and radiologic surveillance was necessary until bone regeneration was complete, the risk of per and post-operative fracture being major.
