Natl J Maxillofac Surg. 2013 Jan;4(1):107-10. doi: 10.4103/0975-5950.117819.

Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cysts are rare benign lesions of bone tissue. They are composed of vascular spaces blood-filled and surrounded by fibrous tissue septa. They are considered as pseudo cysts because of lack of epithelial lining. Here, we describe a giant case of ABC in 12-year-old female child having a massive swelling over the right side of the mandible treated with segmental resection and reconstruction with a reconstruction plate. Case is also discussed with the review of literature.

Keywords: Aneurysmal bone cysts; benign bone lesions; mandible; pseudocysts.
