“…It is considered as a pseudocyst due the lack of real epithelial lining [7]. Other clinical characteristics are: cortical expansion and erosion, fibroosseous matrix formation and malignant-like tumor appearance [8]. Clinical diagnosis of ABC is difficult, due to its similarity with other entities such as the ameloblastoma, the central giant cell granuloma, the mixoma, the traumatic bone cyst and the keratocystic odontogenic tumor [9].…”

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is an uncommon, non-neoplastic, expansive and erosive bone lesion. Considered as a pseudocyst due the lack of epithelial lining, the presence of giant cells and similarity to other lesions can make preoperative diagnosis difficult; biopsy findings must be co-related to complete clinical and radiological assessment. ABC's controversial etiopathogenesis and variable clinicopathological presentations have been widely described, but to date, there are just a few reports in literature describing the development of fibrous dysplasia (FD) from an ABC, and even less cases occurring in the jaws. We describe the case of an ABC in an 8 year-old male patient, affecting the body of the mandible, which showed accelerated growth associated to thinning of the buccal, lingual and lower cortical plates. The treatment consisted of repetitive surgical resection, curettage of the lesion and mandibular reinforcement with osteosynthesis reconstruction plates. A 16-month follow-up showed selflimitation of the overgrowth. The final histopathological and radiological analysis confirmed the FD diagnosis.

“…This may prove difficult at times since the lesions are often multilocular and may be divided by multiple bony septae 3 .The treatment modalities are percutaneous sclerotherapy, diagnostic and therapeutic embolization, curettage, block resection and reconstruction, radiotherapy and systemic calcitonin therapy 5 .Self-healing cases have also been reported on long-term follow-up 17 .Several authors recommend immediate reconstruction of the defect with autogenous grafts in cases of esthetic deformity, high risk of fractures and loss of mandibular continuity 1,6,15 .Simple curettage is associated with high recurrence rates varying from 21 to 50%. But Motamedi etal 3 have reported that initial resection is not necessary and have not noted any recurrences following surgical curettage of mandibular lesions.…”

“…It is found more frequently in the mandible than the maxilla (3:1) with preponderance for the body, ramus and angle of the mandible. It affects young persons under 20 years of age with no gender predilection 5,6 . ABC can be classified into three types.…”

“…It is a non-neoplastic lesion of the bone, characterized by replacement with fibro-osseous tissue containing bloodfilled sinusoidal or cavernous spaces. The lesion remains a relatively uncommon finding in the facial bones and the etiology and pathogenesis have yet to be elucidated [1].…”

Benign and malignant tumors of the temporomandibular joint are rare. An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the condyle is even more unusual and usually presents as a slowly enlarging firm swelling which occasionally may be associated with pain and tenderness. Surgical curettage or excision is the treatment of choice, in an attempt to reduce the potential problem of recurrence; we undertook surgical resection of the affected bone. Immediate mandibular reconstruction using autologous bone was deferred though it is generally recommended in such type of cases.
