Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is relatively rare, non-neoplastic expansile lesion of bone. The case of a IS-year-old male with a ABC of the left mandibular condyle is presented. Panoramic radiograph showed a unilocular radiolucency with thinned coritces and a subcondylar fracuture which was due to the trauma. Computed tomography (CT) revealed expansile lesion which had similar attenuation soft tissue. The patient was treated surgically including iliac crestal bone graft.
