Abstract
Ultrasonography (US) is the diagnostic tool of choice for evaluating soft tissue lesions in the
head and neck region. It is an economic, noninvasive, easily performed exam and provides
real-time images, without the exposure to ionizing radiation, and contrast media is not
required. It is usually believed that bone tissue constitutes an obstacle for its utilization, due
to the reflection of sonographic waves. A case of mandibular intraosseous cystic pathology
is reported, with utilization of US for evaluating the content of the lesion and planning the
surgical procedure.
