Plain-English summary
An 18-month-old female Doberman Pinscher was brought to the vet because she had been limping on her right front leg for a month. After various tests, she was diagnosed with an aneurysmal bone cyst, which is a type of bone growth that can cause pain and lameness. The vet performed surgery to remove the cyst and filled the area with bone cement. After a year of recovery, the dog was doing well and had a good outcome, showing that this treatment can be effective for this condition.

Abstract
An eighteen month old female Doberman pinscher dog was referred to teaching hospital of Adnan Menderes University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine with the complaint of right forelimb lameness for a month. On the basis of clinical, radiographical, scintigraphical, computed tomographical and histopathological findings, aneurysmal bone cyst was diagnosed. Surgical curettage and bone cement treatment were applied. The patient recovered after 12 months. This case proves that aneurysmal bone cyst, without osteolysis and/or damages to the surrounding tissues, may result in a good prognosis if curettage and treatment with bone cement are done.
