Abstract
We report the case of a 61-year-old man who was admitted to the emergency department with left-sided facial swelling following a punch. Clinical and radiological examinations revealed a mandibular fracture associated with a dental cyst. The patient underwent surgical management consisting of cyst enucleation, fracture reduction, and osteosynthesis. Histopathological analysis confirmed an inflammatory cyst. This case highlights the rare association between mandibular fractures and dental cysts, requiring specific surgical management.
