Introduction: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is an intraosseous expansile osteolytic benign lesion of bone that contains blood- filled cystic spaces. The etiology and etiopathogenesis are unknown. It is less common in the skull bones. The skull bone lesion commonly involves the mandible with three times greater frequency than that of maxilla. The disease is most frequent in adolescents with a slight female predominance. Clinical presentation is of a progressively rapid growth pattern characterized by expansion of involved bone and deformity. Case report: Herein, we have presented a case of ABC of a 20-year-old Bengali male patient with an ABC located at right angle of the mandible. Cone-beam computed tomography revealed multilocular radiolucency in the right side of the angle and body of the mandible. Incisional biopsy was carried out, which confirmed the diagnosis of ABC. Conclusion: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the history, etiology, clinical features, and review of literature of this age-old disease entity with very many gray areas, which is being long debated.
