Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is blood filled expansile cystic lesion that most commonly occurs in patients during the second decade of their lives. Traditionally it has been described as a benign lesion but can be locally aggressive and result in the destruction of the involved bone. Treatment methods include surgical excision and curettage with or without bone grafting. We report a proximal femu...

Background & Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes sclerotherapy for Aneurysmal bone cysts. Methods: carried out on 19 patients cysts treated in Department Orthopedics. Information compiled from details, case files procedure records. This a prospective study. Patient follow up minimum 6 months maximum 24 (2 years). Results: Excellent or good ...

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are commonly managed by localized excision (curettage/ extended curettage) with or without bone grafting or sclerotherapy. ABCs involving the lower end of radius are relatively uncommon. Here we present a case of an aggressive, juxtaphyseal ABC involving the lower end of radius in a 6 year old boy that failed treatment with localized excision and bone grafting twice....

BACKGROUND Aneurysmal bone cyst is an expansile bone lesion, non-neoplastic in nature, occurring most commonly in long bones. It is uncommon in facial bones and exceptionally rare in ethmoid bone. Ten cases of aneurysmal bone cysts of ethmoid bone have been reported so far. CASE REPORT A young adolescent presented with decreased vision and pain in the right eye. MRI revealed an expansile lesi...

Chondroblastoma of the patella is rare. Aneurysmal bone cysts, which develop from a prior lesion such as a chondroblastoma, are seldom seen in the patella. The authors report a case of a 36-year-old man who presented with 2 years of right knee pain without calor, erythema, pain on palpation, or abnormal range of motion. Radiological studies suggested aneurysmal bone cyst. The lesion was excised...

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC), a locally benign aggressive lytic lesion of either primary or secondary origin, seldom involves the talus. Herein, we present a 25-year-old man with recurrent ABC of the talus after curettage and bone grafting, which was managed by total resection followed by filling the defect using fibular graft and finally tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis due to articular surface in...

INTRODUCTION Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) is a benign expansile cystic blood filled reactive lesion of the bone, most common in the first 2 decades of life. Though it can involve any bone in the body but tibia, humerus, femur and posterior elements of spine are most commonly affected. They most commonly involve metaphysis or metaphysio-diaphyseal part of the bone. Primary involvement of epiphysis...

Aneurysmal bone cysts are uncommon benign, expansile, and lytic lesions that develop in childhood or early adulthood. An aneurysmal bone cyst usually occurs as a primary lesion. In one third of the cases reported in the literature, a preexisting condition or history of trauma is present. Pain and swelling are the main symptoms and usually last for as long as 6 months. Long bones are involved in...

Although aneurysmal bone cysts and calcifying odontogenic cysts accompanied with other lesions are reported in the literature, the simultaneous occurrence of these two distinct lesions has not been reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing co-occurrence of these two lesions located in the left mandibular ramus in a 36-year-old woman.

The majority of simple bone cysts (SBC's) is not symptomatic and remains undiagnosed or is discovered fortuitously. A number of simple bone cysts are only diagnosed after a pathological fracture which occurs as a presenting symptom. Fractures are managed either conservatively or surgically, based on criteria such as the age of the child and the type and localisation of the fracture. The risk fo...
