contents We prove that no cyclic division algebra (in the sense of Dickson) admits an abelian maximal subgroup in its multiplicative group. This settles a special case of a long-standing conjecture of Akbari--Mahdavi-Hezavehi--Mahmudi and complements earlier results on locally nilpotent maximal subgroups and provides a new malnormality criterion for maximal subgroups.
