title: [Aneurysmal cyst of the maxilla. Apropos of a case].
abstract: A case of extensive aneurysmal bone cyst of the maxilla is described, with a recurrence 2 years after surgical curettage, treated by new curettage and radiotherapy. The pathogenesis of this pseudo-cyst is yet obscure. While CT (and MR) demonstrate characteristic fluid-fluid levels, the diagnosis remains histological. A long survey, based on radiography, is necessary to detect recurrence.
