PEDROSA, R. et al. Aneurysmal bone cyst of the temporal bone in a 8 years-old girl: case report. Neurocirugía [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.2, pp.132-137. ISSN 1130-1473.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a very rare, benign, non-neoplasic lession that tipically ocurs in the early life, usually before the 3^rd decade, it's exceptional in youngers than 10 years. We report the diagnosis and treatment of an 8 years old girl with an ABC in the left temporal bone, a very unusual location. Although the histologic caracteristics have been well defined, its pathogenesis remains obscure and not totally explained. Total excision nowadays is the treatment of choice.
