Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are non-neoplastic, highly vascularised bonelesions that rarely involve the craniofacial complex. We describe the firstcase of an ABC involving the inferior turbinate in a 17-month-old boy whoattended our Pediatric Emergency Department because of recurrent epistaxis,and discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic work-up in children with nasalmasses.
