Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cyst involving the hand are a rare occurrence especially in the proximal phalanx. We report a case of 5 years old female child with proximal phalanx aneurysmal bone cyst treated without bone grafting. Magnetic resonance imaging may show fluid filled spaces but definite diagnosis can only be obtained histologically. It is a benign lesion still it can involve growth plate hence intervention is necessary. The treatment includes curettage with or without bone grafting.
