Abstract

The simultaneous occurrence of an aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) on a zygomatic arch with bilateral inferior turbinate gasification is extremely rare, and no previous studies are available. Here we report the case of a 34‑year‑old Chinese Han female who presented with hyperplasia of the left maxillary bone for one and a half years. The patient was observed to have an ABC on the left zygomatic arch concomitant with bilateral inferior turbinate gasification, as indicated by X‑ray computed tomography, contrast‑enhanced computed tomography and three‑dimensional maxillofacial reconstruction. The patient underwent surgical resection of the cyst, and no postoperative symptoms were observed during the 4 years of follow‑up. The etiology of this case is considered to be associated with a gene abnormality.
