Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Mimicking Ameloblastoma: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is rare benign lesion of bone which is infrequent in craniofacial skeleton. ABCs are characterized by rapid growth pattern with resultant bony expansion and facial asymmetry. Clinical presentation of the ABC varies from expansile, destructive lesion causing pain, swelling, deformity, and perforation of the cortex to the relatively innocuous type which may not produce any clinically evident bone expansion. As the radiologic and clinical presentation of ABC is extremely variable, histopathologic examination has a great emphasis for the diagnosis. We describe a case of ABC in a 22 years male patient affecting the buccal and lingual cortical plates with expansion on the lower border of mandible. Treatment consisted of hemimandibulectomy of the lesion. A yearlong follow-up revealed complete healing of the involved site with restoration of acceptable esthetics and no recurrence.
