J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1992 Jan-Feb;16(1):84-6. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199201000-00015.

Abstract

Two cases of aneurysmal bone cyst of the jaws, one in the mandible and the other in the maxilla, are reported in young girls 7 and 15 years old. One was a primary lesion; the other was associated with fibrous dysplasia. In both cases CT and MR demonstrated characteristic fluid-fluid levels. The diagnosis was confirmed after biopsy and surgical resection of the lesions.
