Abstract
The acquired images suggested the diagnosis of a pathological fractured aneurysmal bone cyst after mild trauma However due to the extraordinary location and clinical presentation the diagnosis was secured by means of ultrasoundguided biopsy through a small cortical gapAs shown in this rare case of an atypical aneurysmal bone cyst of the patella the quite seldom but sometimes possible ultrasoundguided biopsy of intraosseous lesions can help to achieve the diagnostic clarification and should also be taken into account as a nonstandard procedure
