Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign, highly vascular bony lesion of unknown origin that may present difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problems. It is usually located on long bones, but rarely on the spine. The lesion is usually treated successfully by curettage and bone grafting when it involves bones of the extremities, but there are special considerations in the management of the lesion when located on the spine. We report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst in on the 8th thoracic spine treated with surgical treatment.
