Aneurysmal bone cyst are uncommon lesions of long tubular bone. It is benign and nonneoplastic. Aneurysmal bone cyst is unusual in temporal bone that may extend intracranially.

Total surgical resection was ensured though lesion was extended intracranially. Prognosis is excellent after total removal as total surgical excision is curative. Good surgical result of this uncommon lesion prompted our report
