We report the case of a 17-year-old boy with a soft tissue aneurysmal bone cyst(STABC) located in the posterior aspect of the right mandible.Conventional radiography revealed no positive findings.On the computed tomography scan,the lesion appeared to have a nonuniform intralesional density.Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an abnormal soft tissue masses with cystic component in the superficial part of right mandibular body and angle with intact cortex.Following histopathological examination,fibro-histiocytic proliferation,blood-filled spaces and multinucleated giant cells were seen and the lesion was diagnosed as a STABC.The mass together with underlying bone and periosteum on its periphery was surgically resected under general anesthesia.Thirty-six months after surgery the patient was assessed at outpatient clinic and found no sign of recurrence This may be only the first reported case of the mandible in the English literature of this extremely rare benign tumor occurring in soft tissue.
