Solid variant aneurysmal bone cyst in the distal fibular metaphysis: radiologic and pathologic challenges to diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solid variant aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare benign bone lesion, representing a small fraction of all aneurysmal bone cysts. The imaging appearance and histologic features may overlap with other benign and malignant neoplasms, posing a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians, pathologists, and radiologists. We present a case of solid variant aneurysmal bone cyst of the distal fibula and review the radiologic and histologic features important for diagnosis.

Radiographs revealed a radiolucent lesion in the proximal epi-metaphysis of the right fibula, which was initially diagnosed as an aneurysmal bone cyst. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an expansile intramedullary lesion with focal multiloculated fluid-fluid levels and also solid mass in the proximal metaphysis. The latter so...

The lesion rarely leads to aneurysmal bone cyst, which is characterized as a blood-filled space. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 13-year-old Japanese boy with a complaint of discomfort in the thigh and a small, well-de...
متن کاملANEURYSMAL BONE CYST ASSOCIATED WITH A PATHOLOGIC FRACTURE OF THE MANDIBLE: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Pathologic fractures of the jaw are usually associated with aggressive, destructive lesions or malignant lesions of the jaws. Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) of the jaws are benign lesions which normally do not cause destruction to such an extent. This article reports a relatively aggressive ABC of the mandible in a 19 year-old male which destroyed the buccal and lingual cortices as well as th...

متن کاملCystic presentation of Ewing's sarcoma with indolent clinico-radiologic behaviour.
Ewing's sarcoma is a high-grade malignant primary bone tumour with aggressive clinico-radiologic features. Rarely, it exhibits a benign pattern, but presentation as a solitary bone cyst in a long bone is rather unusual. The purpose of this paper is to document such a cystic presentation with relatively benign clinico-radiologic course and to review the pertinent literature. A 27-year-old male p...
