Background: Stafne's bone cavity is a rare, well-defined, radiolucent anatomical variant that usually occurs in the molar region of the mandible near the mandibular angle and below the canal for the inferior dental nerve and it can be misdiagnosed with other entities as cystic lesion, tumor, malformations and dysplasias. Objective: To determine the frequency of Stafne's bone cavity found in panoramic radiographs of patients treated at the Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Service of the Cayetano Heredia Teaching Dental Center from January 2015 to December 2019. Material and methods: A observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study of a database with 17,875 panoramic radiographs. Demographic variables such as sex, age, location and shape were considered. Tables of contents were made for analysis of the results. Results: It presented 0.13% (n=24) of cases of Stafne cavity, the male sex represented 66.67% (n=16) while the female 33.33% (n=8). The 8th decade presented the highest number of cases with 0.4% (n = 6) and the 10th decade presented the greatest predisposition with 0.75%. The right posterior location represented 54.17% (n = 17), the left posterior location 29.17% (n = 7), the anterior location 16.67% (n = 4) and there were no cases located in the mandibular branch. The oval shape presented 95.83% (n = 23) and the round 4.17% (n = 1). Conclusions: The frequency of Stafne's bone cavity was 0.13% with a predilection of the male sex, age group 10th decade of life, right posterior location and oval shape.
