title: Computer-aided resection and reconstruction in a case of aneurysmal bone cyst of the mandibular condylar head.
abstract: A case is presented of a 16-year-old girl with an aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the mandibular condyle of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This lesion rarely involves the mandibular condyle, and involvement of condylar head is even rarer. To our knowledge, only 12 cases have been reported in the literature so far. This is the first case of ABC of the mandibular condyle with 3D planning of costochondral graft reconstruction described in the literature.
