Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of Oral & maxillofacial surgery. It comprised of 22 cases of unilocular radiolucency. All were subjected to panoramic radiographs. Patients were subjected to aspiration, incisional biopsy and surgical procedures. Results: Out of 22 cases, 14 were seen in males and 8 in females. The difference was significant (P- 0.05).

The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Management includes enucleation (4), marginal mandibulectomy (3), curettage (2), marsupilization (3), intralesional steroids (4) and excision (6). The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Mandibular anterior unilocular lesions are not commonly encountered. The present study reported 22 cases, mostly in females. Management included enucleation, marginal mandibulectomy, curettage, marsupilization, intralesional steroids and excision.
