This lesion does not require treatment, and size changes are very rare. The purpose of this article is to summarize the radiological and clinical features of SMBC, aiming to prevent misinterpretation of this benign lesion as other pathologies and aid in differential diagnosis within the field of dental practice.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 32 patients who visited our hospital and were radiologically diagnosed with SMBC based on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic images between 2005 and 2021 were included in this study. Among them, surgical intervention was performed in one case. Gender and age distribution of the patients, radiographic location and size of the lesion, relationship with the mandibular canal in CBCT, presence of cortical bone erosion in the mandibular lingual area in panoramic images, and the amount of residual cortical bone on the affected side in CBCT were investigated.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Patients were 26 men (81.3%) and 6 women, with a mean age of 54.3\u00a0years. The average horizontal and vertical length was 16.6\u00a0mm and 10.6\u00a0mm. Out of a total of 32 cases, 29 cases were found in the posterior region of the mandibular body, while 3 cases were in the angle of the mandible. Lesions located below the mandibular canal were observed in 29 cases, while lesions involving the mandibular canal were present in 3 cases. Erosion of the mandibular lingual cortical bone was observed in 11 cases (34.4%), while 21 cases (65.6%) showed no erosion on panoramic images. Among the total of 14 cases (43.8%) where the cortical bone on the affected side was invaded, the average residual cortical bone thickness was 1.1\u00a0mm.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>SMBC is a benign lesion primarily found in the mandibular angle and posterior body of the mandible.
