Thus, it is important to recognize what is considered normal, as well as the anatomical variations, so that one can identify what is pathologic. In this case report we describe a radiographic finding in leucoderm patient, 13 years old and one month, submitted to a panoramic radiography in a private clinic in São Paulo - Brazil, for evaluation of the third molars. During the radiographic reading, a bilateral radiolucid area with an inverted tear shape could be observed in the region between the roots of the lateral incisive teeth and upper canines. Although it was an image that suggested bone rarefaction, the integrity of the hard lamina was evident in both sides. During the patient's clinical examination, a bilateral asymmetry was not observed, as well as any kind of sintomatology. In our case report, according to the clinical and radiographic findings, we conclude that the diagnosis was bilateral incisive fossa.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Chilena de AnatomíaInternational Journal of Morphology v.28 n.3 20102010-09-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0717-95022010000300041en10.4067/S0717-95022010000300041
