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.

A 3-month-old, 18 kg, female St Bernard breed dog was presented with recurrent left forelimb lameness and painful swelling of the antebrachium. A large expansile lytic lesion within the left ulna was observed on radiographs. Ultrasound examination revealed a cyst-like structure. Sanguineous fluid was obtained in association with ultrasound guidance. A presumptive diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) was made. Percutaneous sclerotherapy (PS) with ethanol 95 per cent was performed. Follow-up radiographic examinations showed progressive remodelling. Limb function was normal after 9 months. PS with ethanol was a safe alternative to conventional surgery for the treatment of an ABC in this case.

ABSTRACT Aneurysmal bone cyst is a cystic lesion that mimics a true neoplasm clinically and radiologically. They are most commonly located in the metaphysis of the long bones, and their occurrence in the calcaneum and transverse process of vertebra has rarely been reported. Aneurysmal bone cyst has various differential diagnoses and histopathology is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Although aggressive, these benign lesions require simple curettage and bone grafting. However, a recurrence rate of up to 59% is reported and needs continuous follow-up. Two cases of aneurysmal bone cyst diagnosed based on X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging in one of the cases and subsequent correlation with histopathology are reported in this communication. The literature on the subject is scanty and hence the report. How to cite this article Tyagi S, Hans P, Kumar H, Mohan V. Radiology of Aneurysmal Bone Cyst at Uncommon Locations: Report of Two Cases.

A 27-year-old man presented with intermittent right knee pain for 1 year with no previous trauma. Physical examination revealed only tenderness over the patella. Typical fluid–fluid levels were visible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which highly suggested aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the patella. After removal of a large window of thin cortical bone, curettage and bone grafting followed by cerclage wiring was performed. Histology confirmed the initial diagnosis of primary ABC of the patella. At the final follow-up visit at 71 months after surgery, the patient had normal joint activity with no pain or evidence of recurrence. Previous publications indicated patellectomy in the initial series, but curettage and bone grafting have more recently provided excellent results and good graft incorporation in most cases, even for aggressive lesions. In our patient, thorough curettage and bone grafting through a wide cortical window followed by cerclage wiring fixation and figure-eight sutures was a successful treatment option for primary ABC of the patella without articular disruption.

Abstract Background Concomitant cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) are rare in the head and neck region. In our search of the English language literature, we found only one case report describing the simultaneous occurrence of COD and ABC in the head and neck region. Here, we report a case of COD associated with ABC. Further, we performed a systematic search of the literature to identify studies on patients with COD associated with nonepithelial lined cysts of the jaws. Case presentation The patient was a 32-year-old woman who was referred from a private dental clinic because of a cystic lesion below the mandibular right first molar. She had no pain or significant systemic disease. After performing panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography, the imaging diagnosis was COD with a cystic lesion, such as ABC or solitary bone cyst. Excisional biopsy was performed, which revealed concomitant COD and ABC. Conclusion This case of ABC associated with COD provides insight for the diagnostic process of radiographically mixed lesions with cystic changes.

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.

A case of lytic lesion of the pelvis in a 23-year-old woman is presented. A biopsy led to the diagnosis aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). Due to the histologically very aggressive growth of the tumor, a low malignant osteosarcoma could not be excluded. In an initial operation the tumour, affecting the sacrum, the iliac crest and the lower lumbar spine was resected. Temporary restabilisation of the pelvic ring was achieved by a titanium plate. The histological examination of the entire tumour confirmed the diagnosis ABC. After 6 months, the MRI showed no recurrence. The observed tilt of the spine to the operated side on the sacral base prompted a second surgical procedure: a transpedicular fixation of L5 and L4 was connected via bent titanium stems to the ischium, where the fixation was achieved by two screws. This construction allowed the correction of the base angle and yielded a stable closure of the pelvic ring. The patient has now been followed for 6 years: the bone grafts have been incorporated and, in spite of radiological signs of screw loosening in the ischium, the patient is fully rehabilitated and free of symptoms. Pedicle screws in the lower spine can be recommended for fixation of a pelvic ring discontinuity.

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.

A 20-year-old female was referred to our hospital due to deformity and bulging in anterior aspect of chest wall in sternal area. Chest X-ray and CT scan confirmed a large mass with destruction of sternum. Pathologic diagnosis after incisional biopsy was compatible with aneurysmal bone cyst. We resected sternum completely and reconstructed large anterior defect by a cryopreserved sternal allograft. In follow-up of patient there was no unstability of chest wall with good cosmetic result.
