ABSTRACT
SUMMARY:
Authors present an 11-year-old female admitted with a 3-month history of painless forehead mass. The mass was located in the left frontal area and was pronounced on inspection and palpation. Neurologic examination revealed no abnormalities. The patient was diagnosed for acute lymphoblastic leukemia 5 years ago and had been treated. The patient was under observation by the pediatric oncology clinic with remission state since 3 years. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic bone lesion in the right frontal bone. A preoperative diagnosis of myeloproliferative disorder was made and it was surgically resected and cranioplasty with porous polyethylene sheets (Medpor, Porex Surgical Inc, GA) was performed in the same stage. Pathologic examination revealed an aneurysmal bone cyst. The patient recovered with complete resolution of symptoms. Although rare lesions, aneurysmal bone cysts must be considered in the differential diagnosis of calvarial mass lesions.
