This case illustrates the radiological findings of an aneurysmal bone cyst with the typical MRI fluid-fluid levels and septations separating the cysts.

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign giant cell-rich lesions of unknown cause and are sometimes difficult to distinguish from other bone tumors 1-6. The diagnosis of this lesion is possible by a combination of typical radiological and pathological features 1-6.
