Abstract:
Aneurysmal bone cyst is an uncommon tumor-like lesion of the bone, containing distended channels or cavities filled with blood. This case, a eighteen years old female, complained of pain and swelling in the right lateral aspect of thigh. Roentgenograms showed a ballooned-out distension of the shaft of the femur, eccentric buldging of the cortex and soap-bubble appearance of interior of the lesion. The case was treated with radical curettage and autogenous bone graft with bone chips which were taken from the iliac wing. Pathological examination grossly and microscopically revealed an aneurysmal bone cyst. Patient made an uneventful recovery, and 11 months later she had no complaints and no evidence of recurrence.
