Abbreviations
- Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC)
Synonyms
- Benign central giant cell tumor, central giant cell lesion

- Reactive lesion of bone that contains many large blood-filled spaces separated by connective tissue septa and containing giant cells
- Devoid of epithelial lining; therefore, not true cyst
- Hydraulic-appearing outer margins ("ballooning" of cortex) gave rise to term "aneurysmal"
