Abstract
Depending on analysis of radiographic morphology, location and patient 's age of 72 aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) and 47 giant cell tumours (GC T), the following criteria suggest an ABC with a high positive predict ive value: location in the diaphysis (100 %), in the shaft (92 %), in the metaphysis or metadiaphysis (86 %), patient younger than 17 years (97 %) and growth rate grade Lodwick-IA (88 %). GCT were selected via the following criteria: epimetaphyseal location (82 %) and growth rate grade Lodwick-II (100 %). In 14 % of the cases, differential diagnosi s between both entities is radiologically impossible.
