Aneurysmal cyst of bone is a rare benign tumour that is slowing growing and expansile in nature. Generally, occurs in the long bones but can also involve the vertebrae. An aneurysmal bone cyst from the rib, especially in the middle age group, is extremely uncommon. Hereby, we report a 40-year-old woman with an aneurysmal bone cyst of the left 6th rib. She was treated with en bloc rib excision with the cyst. FNAC of lesion proved the diagnosis of the aneurysmal bone cyst. Curative treatment is en bloc resection of the affected rib, leaving no chance of recurrence.
