ANEURYSMAL BONE CYST ASSOCIATED WITH A PATHOLOGIC FRACTURE OF THE MANDIBLE: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Surgery

case report
case report
Pathologic fractures of the jaw are usually associated with aggressive,
destructive lesions or malignant lesions of the jaws. Aneurysmal bone cysts
(ABC) of the jaws are benign lesions which normally do not cause destruction
to such an extent. This article reports a relatively aggressive ABC of the
mandible in a 19 year-old male which destroyed the buccal and lingual cortices
as well as the inferior border of the mandible resulting in a pathologic fracture.
Although pathologic fractures associated with ABC's of the skeleton are
common, however, to our knowledge this is the first report of an AB C associated
with a pathologic fracture of the jaw.
Cyst, bone, aneurysmal; mandible.
