• Resumen

  • ABC (Aneurysmal bone cyst) is a rare, benign and osteolytic lesion. Diagnosis of ABC can be challenging because of its uncommon radiographic and clinical presentation. The case of an 8-year-old female with a rapidly growing painful swelling in her left mandible is presented. Incisional biopsy showed an aneurysmal bone cyst. Surgical curettage and en bloc surgical excision are the main choices of treatment. We report embolization technique as a complement treatment for surgical curettage with accurate zone control lessening the extent of operation and surgical complications.
