Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of Skull: A Rare Case Report
Abstract: Aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare, benign, locally aggressive bone lesion that seldom affects the skull. A 16-year-old girl presented with a cranial swelling that had increased gradually over two years, without any neurological weakness. Brain computed tomography revealed a large blood-filled, multiloculated expansile lesion measuring 15 ? 12 ? 10 cm, with cortical breach, intracranial extension, internal septations, and a soap-bubble appearance. Craniotomy and excision of the cyst were performed. Histopathological examination confirmed a benign aneurysmal bone cyst. Although its imaging features may resemble other lytic skull lesions, combined clinical, radiological, and tissue examination supports an accurate diagnosis. Surgical excision remains the preferred treatment and generally offers a favourable outcome with a low risk of recurrence.
