Abstract:

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare, blood-filled bone lesions that grow as solid lumps within the jawbone. These cysts account for about 1.5% of nonodontogenic jaw tumors and mostly occur in long bones. The mandible is commonly affected, while ABCs in the upper maxilla are rare, comprising only 2% of cases. This report details an uncommon instance of ABC in a 25-year-old patient who presented with a painless swelling in the right upper back tooth and palatal area for two months. First described by Jaffe and Lichtenstein in 1942, ABCs in the jaws are typically seen in younger patients. In this case, treatment involved curettage of the cyst and reconstruction with a palatal rotational flap to cover the defect.
