C4 cervical spine osteoblastoma associated with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst in an adolescent patient: 2-year follow-up

Abstract The authors report the case of a 62-year-old woman with an aneurysmal bone cyst of the cervical spine. The patient presented with a progressive tetraparesis. Cervical computed tomographic scanning revealed a mass involving three contiguous vertebral bodies. The patient underwent two consecutive surgical procedures: (a) laminectomy and metallic plate osteosynthesis and (b) an anterior approach for curettage of the cyst and autologous grafting. Twelve months after operation, the patient was given a course of radiation therapy in the cervical area. She was found to be asymptomatic at the 20-month follow-up examination. The authors discuss the etiological, anatomical, and radiological features of vertebral aneurysmal bone cysts and evaluate treatment methods.

Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma

Chondroblastoma is a rare primary bone tumor of young people that typically arises in the ends of the long bones. Radiologic investigations show a small, circumscribed, lytic lesion. The tumor is characterized histologically by the proliferation of chondroblasts along with areas of mature cartilage, giant cells, and occasionally, secondary aneurysmal bone cyst formation. Chondroblastoma, however, may also present with atypical features, such as prominent hemosiderin deposition, numerous giant cells, or the presence of a large aneurysmal bone cyst component. Malignant entities such as clear cell chondrosarcoma and chondroblastic osteosarcoma must also be considered. Recently, immunohistochemical stains such as DOG1 and SOX9 have been described in chondroblastoma, and K36M mutations in either the H3F3A or H3F3B genes have also been identified. While generally regarded as a benign entity, chondroblastoma manifests an intermediate type of behavior, given its ability to recur locally, and rarely, metastasize.

Access to the cystic lesion of the talar body without damage to the articular surface is difficult. This case report is about a 23-year-old man who had a symptomatic huge cystic lesion in the left-sided talus bone. Radiograph and CT scan showed an expansile lytic lesion within the talar body. The MRI revealed a well-defined lesion with fluid-fluid levels. The needle biopsy aspirate was haemorrhagic, and hence a diagnosis of the aneurysmal bone cyst was made. As the lesion was beneath the talar dome with an intact neck and head, a medial approach with medial malleolar osteotomy was performed. The lesion was curetted out, and the cavity was filled up with a morselised bone graft. The limb was splinted for 6 weeks, and complete weight bearing was started after 3 months. At 1-year follow-up, the lesion was found to be healed up, and the patient was pain-free with no recurrence.

Endoscopic Curettage

Purpose: Assessment of the functional and oncologic outcomes regarding endoscopic curettage of different benign bone tumor types within variable anatomic locations. Patients and methods: During the period between February 2012 and December 2016, 26 patients with symptomatic intra-osseous benign bony lesions were included. The age ranged from 3 up to 49 years (mean 20), of 14 females and 12 males. The follow-up duration ranged from 26 up to 58 months (mean 41). Functional scoring was done according to the Revised Musculoskeletal Tumour Society Rating Scale. Anatomic locations of the lesions included: 6 cases in the proximal tibia, 6 cases in the distal femur, 4 cases in the calcaneus, 3 cases in the proximal humerus, 3 cases in the distal tibia, 2 cases in the talus, 1 case in the proximal femur, and 1 case in the distal fibula. The procedure used 4 mm 30° scope for endoscopy, and high speed burrs 3.5–5 mm for extended curettage. Autogenous bone grafting was done in 5 cases, and adjuvant material (polymethylmethacrylate) was needed in 7 cases. Results: After exclusion of one case that was lost in the follow-up, the remaining 25 cases showed full functional recovery at a period of 8–12 weeks, and improved mean functional scores from 20.2 to 28.6/30 post-operatively, with p value <0.001 which was considered as a statistically significant result. The oncologic outcome showed 24 cases with adequate healing, while 1 case developed recurrence (aneurysmal bone cyst in the proximal tibia) for which, an open revision surgery was performed. Intra-operative fracture occurred in another case with aneurysmal bone cyst of the proximal femur, which was fixed by flexible nails with complete healing. Conclusion: Endoscopic curettage of different types of intra-osseous benign bony lesions proved to be an effective treatment modality with promising oncologic outcome, improved functional scores, and fast functional recovery.
