Neglected Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Mandible: A Case Report in a 10 Year Old Girl in Volta Region of Ghana - Abstract
Cystic bony lesions of the craniofacial region are rare, and if found may be primary or secondary. Clinicians in less resourced health facilities are faced with diagnostic challenges regarding these lesions in the absence of appropriate diagnostic or investigative tools. This is compounded by the lack of specific signs and symptoms and also the influence of herbal medicine. We report a case of a huge cystic bony lesion on the mandible of a 10-years girl from the Volta Region of Ghana.Histopathological and radiological investigations reported the lesion as a primary aneurysmal bone cyst. She was discharged on the 7th operative day and currently doing well.
