Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign but locally aggressive, expansile osteolytic lesion composed of blood-filled cavities separated by fibrous septa. It primarily affects children and young adults, typically in the first two decades of life, with no clear sex predilection. Although non-malignant, it can cause significant pain, swelling, and pathological fractures due to rapid growth and cortical thinning.
