Abstract
The aneurysmal bone cyst is an unusual cause of a jaw mass in children . Left untreated, this relatively benign lesion can lead to deformity and destructive bone changes. We report a nine-year-old patient with a large untreated aneurysmal bone cyst, and briefly discuss the differe ntial diagnosis of head and neck masses in children.
