“…There was 1 case that lacked gender information; the male to female ratio among the other 91 cases was 1:1.22 (41:50). In several previous studies, 54,59,82,83 no sex predilection was detected. According to the review presented here, however, there is a slight female predilection.…”

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a osteolytic bone lesion that rarely involves the jaws. To date, a total of 92 cases of JABCs have been described in detail in English literature. They prevalently occur in the first 2 decades (72.8%) with slight female predilection. It affects the mandible more often (68.5%) with a predominant location in the mandibular ramus (31.3%) and its posterior regions (20.4%). A painless (54.7%) or painful (43.2%) bone swelling is the most frequent clinical sign. Radiologically 93.8% of the lesions present as a radiolucency; in 69.4% multilocular in appearance. 15.2% of JABCs were secondary in nature, including 8 cases associated with fibrous dysplasia. The recurrence rate (13.3%) did not differ significantly when comparing the surgical technique (curettage, 15.2%; resection, 11.8%). JABCs are known for their different clinical and radiographic features, therefore often posing a diagnostic dilemma. Some JABC's may be secondary in nature. Careful curettage is considered to be suitable as treatment for JABCs.

The aneurysmal bone cyst is a nonmalignant lesion that by expanding disrupts the architecture of the affected bone and destroys surrounding tissue. Developing rarely in the craniofacial region, and more commonly affecting the long bones and the spine, the lesion has characteristic radiographic features but is definitively diagnosed only by pathologic characteristics. Complete surgical excision is used to treat aneurysmal bone cyst, with either curettage or composite resection. Recurrence is common in incompletely excised lesions. Adjunctive cryotherapy reduces the risk of recurrence, and radiotherapy is reserved for nonresectable lesions. The case we report of a young man seen for a large mandibular aneurysmal bone cyst demonstrates the complexity of diagnosing and treating this condition.

“…Cryosurgery has been suggested as a definitive treatment for ABCs because of its low recurrence rates, simplicity, and good functional results. Unfortunately, the reported applications to the mandible are limited to several patients 8,14 . In our case, intracystic dental root projection and an intact inferior alveolar nerve dissuaded us from this approach.…”

Volume 117 Number 6 ARDEN et al. S153 cases were asymptolaaatic, and the lesion was therefore not excised. 4,s Temporal bone osteomas in other locations may cause a variety of symptoms. Eustachian tube osteomas may cause chronic serous otitis media or otorrhea. Internal auditory canal osteomas may result in sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo. 4'13 Mastoid cortex osteomas can cause a cosmetic defect. 14For middle ear osteomas causing heating loss, surgical excision with the appropriate otologic approach is curative. Ossicular reconstruction can be performed at the time of excision. Removal of osteomas that are fixed to important middle ear structures such as the facial nerve or promontory should be performed carefully with the drill, because a case of inadvertent cochleostomy with the use of a chisel has been reported. 3 SUMMARYOsteomas of the middle ear are uncommon entities that typically cause no symptoms. If a definitive diagnosis of such asymptomatic osteomas is made by inspection and CT scan, no intelwention is required. Those lesions that are radiolucent cannot be differentiated from other lesions such as a cholesteatoma or neoplasm and therefore should be excised for diagnosis. Finally, middle eat" osteomas that cause hearing loss or other symptoms may be excised, with care being taken not to injure important middle ear structures.
