Abstract

A case of Cystic Angiomatosis of Bone in 8 year old boy was presented who had the lesions involved clavicle, vertebrae, femur, radius, ulna, tarsal bone, and soft tissue of anterior chest wall and medidiastinum. The Cystic Angiomatosis of Bone is rare, somewhat atypical form of cavernous hemangioma with wide spread involvement of the skeletal system and formation of multiple angiomata of large multilocular cyst. In recent year, Cystic Angiomatosis is thought, in common pathological denominator, a hemartomatous cystic vascular malformation. Definitive diagnosis of cystic angioma is established by biopsy, excision of a portion of an affected rib being the procedure of choice, but relative definitive diagnosis can beobtained by detail X-ray diagnosis. We diagnosed this case by X-ray findings.
