A case of posterior mediastinum solid aneurysmal bone cyst with thoracic spinal making is presented here. The absence of characteristic signs in the imaging and the presence of similar features of giant cell tumor and osteosarcoma, make it imperative the pathologic confirmation for proper treatment of the disease. Total surgical excision of the tumor, the bone grafting and fixation segment affection are the procedures of choice.
