Relatively well-defined area of lucency (with somewhat hazy lateral border) in the upper aspect of the right acetabulum. No obvious calcification within. No septation. The abnormality does not have a sclerotic border. No definite cortical breach.

The lesion is better seen on this coronal CT. No definite cortical breach or periosteal reaction. The superolateral aspect of the lesion shows a chondroid pattern of calcification.
