Secondary aneurysmal bone cyst in McCune-Albright syndrome.

We present a 28-year-old female with McCune-Albright syndrome. She experienced precocious puberty at age 3 months. In childhood, she experienced multiple long bone fractures, facial deformity and progressive visual and hearing impairment. One year ago, she experienced a painful, gradually enlarging bone lesion involving the right ilium, pubic and ischial bone with groundglass appearance, septa, marginal sclerosis, endosteal scalloping and blow-out expansion resulting in localized thinning of the cortex. CT-guided needle biopsy of the pelvic lesion showed aneurysmal bone cyst. Selective arterial embolization was recommended, however, the patient and her relatives did not consent to proceed to treatment, and she remained in close surveillance thereafter.
