Abstract
A 21-year-old male with a painful, expanding mass in the occipital bon e was operated on. The clinical findings were suggestive of a malignan t tumor. However, appearance and histological examination of the opera tive specimen identified it as being an aneurysmal bone cyst, a rather rare nonneoplastic lesion of unknown origin. Besides demonstration of the case, a review of the relevant literature is presented.
