Gerodontology 2018 June
OBJECTIVE: The article aims to highlight the challenge of establishing the presumptive aetiological diagnosis when unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies are identified in an elderly patient's jawbones.

RESULTS: The initial presumptive diagnosis was invalidated by the histopathological examination that revealed the features characteristic for the aneurysmal bone cyst.

CONCLUSION: Aneurysmal bone cyst in an elderly patient is a rare condition.
