Abstract

An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare benign multicystic mass, which its frequency in the head and neck is very low. The majority of ABCs of head and neck are located in the mandible and there are few cases with ABCs in the maxilla bone. It is commonly found in patients younger than 20 years old. ABC should be considered in a differential diagnosis of benign swelling in the sinonasal area. Here we present the case of a young woman with a massive aneurysmal bone cyst of the anterior skull base as an educational example and a reminder to consider ABC in the differential diagnosis of benign swelling in the maxillofacial area.
