Aneurysmal bone cyst of the hyoid.
Aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare lesion usually of the long bones, well documented in the literature. It is a cystic, osteolytic vascular tumour, replete with giant cells and fibrous septa, yet devoid of endothelial lining. It has been reported in the larynx and maxillary sinus. This appears to be the first report of an aneurysmal bone cyst occurring in the hyoid bone.
