Aneurysmal bone cyst of the zygomatic arch: a case report.

We describe a case of an aneurysmal bone cyst originating from the zygomatic arch, which, according to the literature, is an extremely rare location. In the preoperative diagnosis the characteristic radiological signs of the high-quality computed tomography and magnetic resonance examinations were the cornerstones. Treatment was successful total excision. Careful diagnostic workup and multidisciplinary approach (head and neck surgeon, radiologist, and pathologist) should be utilized to successfully diagnose and to treat this rare pathology.
