A young dog was brought in with a swelling in its upper jaw, which was causing some discomfort.

Abstract
This case report describes an aneurysmal bone cyst in the maxilla of a young dog. It describes the clinical presentation, diagnostics, management, and successful outcome of this highly unusual case. Bone cysts are described as benign, cavitated lesions within bone that are lined by reactive tissues. There is no epithelial lining in the lesions. Bone cysts usually contain hemorrhage or serosanguinous fluid. They usually appear in the long bones, and present as a swelling with or without pain.
