Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Mandible: Report of a Case

Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign osteolytic lesion. ABC is infrequently encountered in the long bones of the skeleton and its occurrence in the craniomaxillofacial area is a rare condition. Trauma, altered vascular equilibrium and genetic factors have been implicated on the development of ABC. In this report an ABC of the mandible in a 16-year old male patient was presented.
