RESUMO
A 23-year-old man presented with an irritating sensation at the third molar on the left side of the mandible and a bad taste in his mouth. Radiographic and histopathological examination revealed the abnormality was caused by a paradental cyst. The paradental cyst is located distal to a lower third molar and, together with the mandibular buccal bifurcation cyst, belongs to the inflammatory collateral cysts. Treatment consists of enucleation of the cyst and removal of the lower third molar. Recurrences do not occur.

A 25-year-old man presented with a milky-white abnormality of the buccal mucosa on either cheek. Clinical examination revealed underlying leukoedema. Leukoedema is a clinical diagnosis confirmed when the white appearance of the buccal mucosa virtually disappears when it is stretched. The abnormality falls within the normal variation of the buccal mucosa and a biopsy and/or treatment are not necessary.
