## Contribution

Presents a rare case of an aggressive aneurysmal bone cyst in the mandible with successful surgical management and long-term follow-up.

## Key findings

- The lesion was initially mistaken for a malignancy but was confirmed as an aneurysmal bone cyst via biopsy.
- Surgical excision led to a recurrence-free outcome over a 2-year follow-up period.
- The case underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis and long-term monitoring for such rare conditions.

## Abstract
