Abstract
A 51-year-old Japanese female was referred to us with a left lower quadrant pain and
palpable mass. The CT and MRI study showed a 10×8×8 cm of well-circumscribed, multicystic
mass adjacent to the left iliac bone. The mass was excised and consisted of multiple
cysts containing bloody viscous material surrounded by thin-ring of eggshell-like
tissue. The histological findings correlated with those of an aneurysmal bone cyst.
This extraosseous case might be the first reported case observed in the pelvic cavity.
