Abstrakt: Background: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, expansile bony lesion, primarily found in long bones. It is uncommon in facial bones and exceptionally rare in the sphenoethmoid sinus. Conclusion: ABC should be considered a rare differential for a hemorrhagic sinonasal mass in a young adult. Histopathological examination of the excised tissue is mandatory for a confirmatory diagnosis. Radiologic assessment and pre-operative incisional biopsy are essential from the diagnostic point of view; however, they can often cause a diagnostic dilemma with other vascular tumors such as nasopharyngeal angiofibroma or hemangioma.
