Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign lesion of bone consisting of a septated, cystic cavity filled with non-endothelium-lined, blood-filled spaces. As it grows, expanding and destroying the affected part of the bone by direct compression, the lesion characteristically produces a prominent bulging of the affected bone, which eventually erodes the overlying cortex. Patients rarely complain of pain unless the cyst affects adjacent nerves or its expasion is great enough to impinge on the surrounding joints and soft tissue. Teeth adjacent to the cyst may be displaced, but usually remain vital. Development of the lesion in the craniofacial region is rare, and the mandible is more often affected than the maxilla. Complete surgical excision is used to treat aneurysmal bone cyst, with either curettage or composite resection. This is a case report of 49 years old female with aneurysmal bone cyst treated with surgical excision & DFDB graft.
