This case report describes an unusual clinical presentation of bilateral traumatic bone cysts of the mandible. These lesions presented clinically as bilateral dentigerous cysts associated with the mandibular third molar teeth. Because of this unusual presentation, a combination of clinical examination, thorough history, radiographic studies, surgical exploration, and microscopic evaluation was necessary in order to render a definitive diagnosis on this case. Knowledge and awareness of these features are important to assist in the initial diagnosis as well as patient management and follow up.
