Abstract

ABC is a locally aggressive multiloculated cystic benign bone lesion commonly seen in children and adolescents. Bone scan is useful to identify polyostotic disease and extent of the active lesion with uptake in the reactive new bone formation. Central hyperemia is noted in the initial vascular phase. SPECT/CT helps in further characterization.
