Key findings that aid in the diagnosis of an aneurysmal bone cyst are: 1) typically the patients are young individuals less than 20 years old; 2) an expansile bone lesion is bordered by a thin, low signal intensity rim mass; 3) the lesion is inhomogenously increased in signal on T2-weighted images; and 4) multiple fluid-fluid levels are seen with the mass on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans.

Aneurysmal Bone Cysts

A rare, large pediatric aneurysmal bone cyst with pathologic fracture of the distal tibia of a 4-year-old female was presented. Classic radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings have been discussed. In a comprehensive review of the literature, aneurysmal bone cysts are an infrequently reported neoplasm of the foot and ankle bones. Lesions are characteristically seen in patients younger than 20 years of age, but rarely younger than 5 years. The benign cyst has a 2:1 female-to male predilection. In long bones, the lesion is typically metaphyseal in nature. Although the pathogenesis is still unknown, there exists the possibility of two types of aneurysmal bone cysts: a primary type without preexisting lesion and a secondary form associated with some other lesion. The diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst can be strongly suspected by correlating the radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings. For definitive diagnosis, accurate histologic evaluation is imperative to rule out any confusion or possibility with a malignant tumor.

Abstract Preoperative radiological evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography was valuable in planning the surgical management of a destructive lesion of the posterior elements of the thoracic spine that was causing spinal cord compression in an 18-year-old woman. Preoperative recognition of bilateral involvement of the pedicles in addition to the laminae and spinous process led to use of prophylactic segmental stabilization of the spine with Luque rods after successful excision of an aneurysmal bone cyst. This case provides an example of the usefulness of computed tomographic scanning and magnetic resonance imaging in assessing the distribution and location of vertebral tumor and its potential effect on spinal stability. The efficacy of combining radical excision with stabilization for treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts of the spine is emphasized.
