This essentially is a cyst inside of the neck of the hip bone. The peripheral sclerotic area is the outside of this "cyst" and has a lot of calcium in it... thus it shows up as a very white area on xray, since it is more dense (because of the calcium). Hypo-dense just means there isn't much calcium in the middle of this bone "cyst" so it shows up on the xray as a dark area (hypo= less).
