Whilst these lesions are histologically benign, the lesions are locally aggressive and can affect the integrity of the affected bone as well as surrounding structures.

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst: a Case Report

The lesion has been observed in many parts of the skeleton but it occurs especially in the shafts of long bones and in the vertebral column. It causes localised distension and destruction of the affected bone, limited peripherally by a thin bony shell (Fig. 1). In the past the lesion has usually been...
