The objective of this article was to offer a better characterization of the typical clinical presentation, radiologic findings, histology, treatment approaches, and differential diagnosis of cystic angiomatosis, a rare condition of which previous reports have been confusing because of unclear diagnostic criteria, different classifications, and variations in terminology. A case report using the improved imaging techniques of computed tomography scanning is presented in addition to an analysis and review of the previous literature, which relied heavily on plain film radiography, biopsy, and necropsy for diagnosis. A case report of a 26-year-old man initially symptomatic at age 12 is presented. Although a rare condition, cystic angiomatosis must be considered in pediatric and young adult patients presenting with diffuse, multifocal, cystic skeletal lesions, with or without visceral involvement.
