OBJECTIVES To improve the interpretation of simple bone cyst (SBC) lesions of the jaw. METHODS A comparative study of SBC lesions of the jaw and extracranial bones was performed through a literature survey. RESULTS In extracranial SBC, the cavities were always filled with fluid, and a high recurrence rate was shown through extensive research. Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) was included in the d...

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign tumor-like bony lesion with a propensity to develop in the pediatric population. It generally involves one vertebral level when localized to the spine. The degree of resection correlates highly with fewer recurrences. En bloc spondylectomy is the procedure of choice for this reason, but its high complication rate has led to the development of alternative surgica...

A case of aneurysmal bone cyst of the thoracic spine treated with serial particulate embolization responded with involution of soft-tissue and cystic components and diffuse ossification of the mass. Reappearance of foci of bony rarefaction or cystic change at 4-year follow-up indicates the need for continued surveillance.

Secondary aneurysmal bone cyst in fibrous dysplasia is exceedingly rare, especially in the skull and particularly in the frontal bone. We present a case of aneurysmal bone cyst concomitant with fibrous dysplasia in the frontal bone in a 15-year-old male patient presenting with headache and euphoria with an uncharacteristic imaging appearance and treated successfully by total resection.

Aneurysmal bone cysts are uncommon lesions, especially in the spine. Seventy-eight cases have been previously documented in the English literature and an additional fourteen cases are now reported. There is a definite predilection for the lumbar region and the neural arch is the part of the vertebra most commonly affected. It is recommended that treatment should consist of total excision or whe...

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign osteolytic lesion that is fast-growing, expansile, and locally destructive. The present case is of a young girl with facial asymmetry, which had become accentuated during the previous months. A conservative treatment was performed to reduce morbidity and affectation of the lower dental nerve.

In 79 consecutive patients with unicameral bone cysts we compared the results of aspiration and injection of bone marrow with those of aspiration and injection of steroid. All were treated by the same protocol. The only difference was the substance injected into the cysts. The mean radiological follow-up to detect activity in the cyst was 44 months (12 to 108). Of the 79 patients, 14 received a...

This is a case report of aneurysmal bone cyst of the ethmoid. It is a benign process but with high capacity of local damage. Because of its resemblance with other expansive pathologies of the nasal cavity, it needs to be taken into account to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.

intraosseous ganglia can affect the carpal bones of the hand and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of wrist pain. a 38-year-old female presented with a 14-month history of left wrist pain and a radiolucent cystic lesion was seen computed tomography (ct) scanning. characteristic radiographic findings of a cyst in association with a fine sclerotic rim was apparent. we report an unu...

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC), especially in the ribs, is a rare disease, considering to be a benign lesion which occurs mostly in children and young adults. This case, however, concerns a 46-year-old female patient, with complaints of pain and palpable mass in the right thoracic wall, who was diagnosed to have ABC originating from the rib demonstrated by radiological examinations, aspiration biop...
