We treated 26 patients with 27 aneurysmal bone cysts by curettage and cryotherapy and evaluated local tumour control, complications and functional outcome. The mean follow-up time was 47 months (19 to 154). There was local recurrence in one patient. Two patients developed deep wound infections and one had a postoperative fracture. We compared our results with previous reports in which several d...

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign active or aggressive bone lesions that commonly arise in the long bones, especially the femur, tibia and humerus and in the posterior elements of the spine. They are extremely rare, occurring in 1.5 per one million people per year. They most commonly occur in the metaphysis of long bones during the first two decades of life and usually present with pain, swellin...

The solid variant of aneurysmal bone cyst (solid ABC) is rarely encountered in long bones and appropriate treatment for this disease remains unclear. We experienced a 13-year-old boy suffering from pain in his left knee caused by solid ABC. Simple curettage of the bone lesion without any adjuvant therapy and a bone graft gave immediate pain relief. Histological examination of the surgical speci...

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are a rare benign lesion seen as locally destructive, rapidly expansile, and mostly affecting the long bones and vertebrae. The association of ABCs with juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (PsJOF) is predominantly seen in the extragnathic region, and it is extremely rare with only a few cases reported so far in the mandible. Here, we report one such case of a hy...

Background and Purpose Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) rarely involve the cranium and have seldom been reported in pregnancy. Clinical Presentation We describe a case of a 28-year-old woman who presented at 37 weeks of gestation with 3 months of gradually worsening vision, 10 months of proptosis, and restricted ocular motility on the left. Brain imaging revealed a multicystic enhancing mass measur...

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is an uncommon, benign but locally destructive bone lesion of unknown origin. Differential diagnosis can be challenging as it shares common radiological and pathological features with other benign and malignant bone lesions. The degree of diagnostic difficulty grows even more when an unusual location has to be taken into account. We report a rare and challenging case ...

An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign but often rapidly expanding osteolytic multi-cystic osseous lesion that occurs as a primary, secondary, intra-osseous, extra-osseous, solid, or conventional lesion. A 15-year-old boy presented with a left-sided intrathoracic mass displacing the lung without bone destruction. The mass was totally resected without rib resection, and the pathological diagn...

Aneurysmal bone cysts are rare entities which causes expansile and destructive bone lesions characterized by reactive proliferation of connective tissue. They usually grow rapidly with hypervascularity. In clinical practice they can be easily misdiagnosed due to the rare occurance and having no such typical findings as radiologically. Most cases have uncommon pain symptoms, but rarely, if fract...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Denosumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to the receptor activator of nuclear factor kB (RANKL), it used in treatment Osteoporosis. The Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) and Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) use same RANKL, for this reason drug began be its treatment. There consensus on use, dose-time 12-month duration GCT. Not so ABC. In unresectable, disabling or recurrent tum...

Giant-cell tumours of bone were probably first described by Cooper and Travers in 1818. N#{233}laton (1860) designated them “ tumeurs a myeloplaxes.” The name giant-cell tumour was introduced by Bloodgood (1919). Stewart (1922) regarded the giant cells as an integral part Of the growth and believed that they were related to the osteoclasts of normal bone; he proposed the term osteoclast sarcoma...
