Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) usually affects older children or young adu lts. The radiological appearance is of a purely osteolytic expansile m etaphyseal lesion with thinned out cortex and internal septations. We present a case of ABC in a 5-year-old girl which showed internal calci fication and was initially diagnosed as enchondroma. However, patholog ical examination revealed typical appearance of ABC with large area of dystrophic calcification.
