Description	Background: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign intraosseous lesion characterized by blood-filled spaces of various sizes. These lesions are most commonly found in the long bones and spine but 2% occur in the jaws, more frequently in the mandible than in the maxilla (ratio 3:1). Case presentation: We present a case of an 8 year old boy with expansive ABC of left maxillary sinus which caused a deformity of the face. Conclusion: We discuss the current treatment and diagnostics options and describe successful treatment of our patient based on adequate surgical approach and complete removal of the lesion.
