The immune thrombocytopenia(ITP) is defined as a platelet count of less than 100,000/μL. It is generally known as characterized by the bleeding manifestations of skin and/or mucosa like ecchymosis due to low platelet count, but reports of the related intraosseous lesions are not common. The idiopathic bone cavity(IBC) is an empty space of the bone, which occurs mainly in the long bones. It is found predominantly in the mandible in case of the maxillofacial area. In general, it appears as an isolated unilocular lesion without the correlation of the teeth. Although the cause of the IBC is supposed to be associated with hemostatic problems, the etiology is unclear and it was not disclosed the relevance of specific systemic disease. In this present case, IBCs that occurred in mandible of patient who has IPT was treated by curettage with platelet transfusion.
