Subperiosteal aneurysmal bone cyst

Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cyst of long bones in a subperiosteal location is unusual. We report such a case, and the importance of radiological and pathological examination is emphasized. The diagnosis of subperiosteal aneurysmal bone cyst should be considered in the presence of subperiosteal lytic lesions of the long bones. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
