Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the talus is an extremely rare lesion; less than 20 cases have been reported in PubMed till 2012. We report a primary ABC of the talus in a 20-year-old male that was managed by extended intralesional curettage with phenol as an adjuvant and autologous cancellous iliac crest bone grafting. The patient had excellent functional outcome and there was no recurrence at 2...

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are rare, benign, expansile lesions of bone often found in the metaphyses of long bones in pediatric and young adult population. Multiple fluid levels are typically seen on imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT). We describe a case of a primary ABC in the fibula of a 34-year-old man diagnosed on ultrasound with a mobile fluid level ...

An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, locally destructive hemorrhagic lesion, usually eccentrically located in the metaphysis of long bones. A variety treatments are available for aggressive forms cysts, ranging from curettage to en bloc resection technique which defect reconstructed with vascularized or nonvascularized fibular autograft allograft. We report case 12-year-old boy an ABC pro...

The present study was performed to find the spectrum of bone diseases in children and to correlate with age, sex, and site of origin. This was a retrospective study and consists of 95 cases of bone biopsies which were diagnosed in the Department of Pathology at the Institute of Child Health and Children’s Hospital, Lahore during a period of six years (Jan 2003-Dec 2008). These biopsies were eva...

   Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign expansile bone tumor, most commonly involving the medulla of long bones. ABC rarely arises within the cortex or in the subperiosteal region, radiographically mimicking other conditions, in particular surface osteosarcomathat is low-grade in nature and may go secondary ABC changes, and telangiectatic osteosarcoma. Both of these are sometimes mistaken mic...

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a pseudotumoral lesion. Complete resection prior to selective arterial embolization seems to be the treatment of choice for the more extensive and destructive lesions. In these cases maintaining stability of the cervical spine is critical. This can be very challenging in children and adolescents in whom the axial skeleton is still growing. In this case a young girl prese...

introduction: aneurysmal bone cysts (abc) are extremely rare in the head and neck region and even rarer in sinuses.  abc is a benign multicystic mass that is locally-destructive and rapidly expandable. hemorrhagic fluid content (like in this case) and septated appearance are the characteristic feature of abc. established treatment options for abcs include sclerotherapy, embolization, radiothera...

We present a case of aneurysmal bone cyst involving the roof of the orbit and sphenoid bone, with plain film, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings. The natural history and treatment depend on the presence of associated abnormalities such as fibrous dysplasia or a giant cell tumour. In this case the lesion was solitary and was successfully removed, so that possible compli...
