The authors present the case of an 11-year-old boy with a painful, rapidly expanding lesion in the posterior triangle of the neck. There was no history of cervical trauma. Computerized tomography of the neck revealed a unicameral (single-chambered) aneurysmal bone cyst involving the C3 vertebra. Treatment was by open resection and curettage; no recurrence was seen at six months. We discuss the natural history, differential diagnosis, radiographic appearance and treatment modalities for this unusual, benign, expanding, osteolytic lesion containing blood-filled cystic cavities.

Adamantinoma, a rare bone lesion of the tibia and fibula, has two distinct variants, classic adamantinoma and osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma. Composite lesions have not been described. Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign cystic lesion which may also occur in the tibia and fibula. We report an unusual case of classic adamantinoma with osteofibrous dysplasia-like areas and foci of secondary aneurysmal bone cyst with prominent giant cells. A lesion was diagnosed in a 17-year-old girl with a 14-year history of a slowly enlarging left tibial mass and increasing deformity. Pathologically, the predominant pattern was classic adamantinoma, with minor foci of osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma and areas of secondary aneurysmal bone cyst with abundant multinucleated giant cells. We report the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of this case, and summarize lesions associated with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst. To our knowledge, the association of adamantinoma with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst has not been previously reported.

Objective. To analyze a rare clinical case of the aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the paranasal sinuses in a 9-year-old patient.Materials and methods. We studied the data of the anamnesis, diagnostic and treatment methods contained in the medical history of the inpatient. We examined the patient and kept her under clinical observation during the process of the examination and treatment.Results. The fnal diagnosis of the ABC of the paranasal sinuses in the 9-year-old patient was verifed after the obtainment of the results of the performed clinical and morphological studies. The neoplasm was surgically removed. One year after the surgery, the MRI investigation showed no relapse. The child is in a fair condition.Conclusion. To diagnose an ABC, it is required to perform a histological examination of the tumor including the use of immunohistochemical methods.

A 69-year-old woman with a 10-year medical history of recurrent retroperitoneal dedifferentiated liposarcoma presented with a 3-cm large hemorrhagic and multicystic left-sided retroperitoneal mass. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen showed a heterogeneous, high-grade mesenchymal nonlipogenic tumor with areas of osteoblastic/osteosarcomatous differentiation and aneurysmal bone cyst–like features. Based on the clinical presentation, the morphology, and the supportive immunohistochemical and molecular findings (MDM2 overexpression and amplification of the MDM2 gene, respectively), a diagnosis of a dedifferentiated liposarcoma with heterologous osteosarcomatous differentiation and an aneurysmal bone cyst–like morphology was made. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of aneurysmal bone cyst–like morphology in dedifferentiated liposarcoma, further expanding the broad morphological spectrum of dedifferentiated liposarcoma.

Telangiectatic osteosarcoma (TOS) is one of the 8 subtypes of osteosarcoma that infrequently affects the spine. The radiopathological features of TOS overlap with those of more benign entities, most commonly the aneurysmal bone cyst), and therefore is a significant diagnostic challenge. It is a rare but well-described entity in the thoracolumbar and sacral spine, and to the authors' knowledge has not been previously reported in the cervical spine. The authors report the case of a 15-year-old boy who presented with a 6-month history of neck pain and torticollis. He underwent preoperative glue embolization followed by a staged subtotal C-5 spondylectomy and posterior fusion for a C-5 vertebral body lytic expansile lesion. Histopathological examination showed the lesion to be TOS. The surgery was followed by adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy with a favorable outcome at the 1-year follow-up. This report reiterates that TOS is an important differential diagnosis for aneurysmal bone cyst and giant-cell tumor of the spine, as its biological behavior and clinical outcome differ from those of these more benign lesions, which it mimics.

ABSTRACTAneurysma bone cyst (ABC) is a rare case, rapidly growing, and destructive benign bone tumor that rarely involves the bones of the hand. Pathogenesis of these tumors remains controversial and may be vascular, traumatic, or genetic disorders.  This study aimed to evaluate patient’s out come after steroid injection. A male child presented with a history of pain and local swelling over his fifth metacarpal right hand of two months duration with hemofilia condition. Physical and radiographic examination of the hand was consistent with aneurysmal bone cyst. The patient the VIII factor 2 hours before doing steroid injection on his lump over fifth metacarpal right hand. A month evaluation after injection for this patient, we had a good result clinically and radiologically. Radiological evaluation obtained appearance of cortex thickening on the bone affected. We concluded that steroid injection should be considered as one of ABC’s treatment with hemophilia, but the outcome still needed more evaluation.  Keywords: Aneurysmal Bone Cyst, Hemophilia, Steroid Injection ABSTRAK Kista tulang aneurisma adalah kasus yang jarang terjadi, tumbuh dengan cepat, dan tumor tulang jinak destruktif yang jarang melibatkan tulang-tulang tangan. Patogenesis tumor ini masih kontroversial dan mungkin bersifat kelainan vaskular, traumatis, atau genetik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pasien setelah injeksi steroid. Seorang anak laki-laki dengan riwayat nyeri dan pembengkakan lokal pada metacarpal kelima tangan kanannya selama dua bulan dengan kondisi hemofilia. Pemeriksaan fisik dan radiografi tangan menegakkan adanya kista tulang aneurisma. Pasien diberi faktor VIII 2 jam sebelum injeksi steroid pada benjolan di atas metacarpal kelima tangan kanannya. Evaluasi sebulan setelah injeksi untuk pasien ini, kami memiliki hasil yang baik secara klinis dan radiologis. Evaluasi radiologis diperoleh penampilan penebalan korteks pada tulang yang terkena. Kami menyimpulkan bahwa injeksi steroid harus dipertimbangkan sebagai salah satu pengobatan kista tulang aneurisma dengan hemofilia, namun hasilnya masih perlu evaluasi lebih lanjut.Kata kunci: Kista Tulang Aneurisma, Hemofilia, Injeksi steroid

Abstract Background Finding an aneurysmal bone cyst in the skull is rare and for a neurosurgeon to come across such lesions in the sphenoid bone with orbital extension is even rarer. Case presentation We report a case of a 16-year female who presented with a three-month history of headache, proptosis, and deterioration of vision. Pre-operative imaging studies which included NCCT head and MRI brain, suggested the lesion to be an aneurysmal bone cyst of the greater wing of the sphenoid, with extension into the orbit. Intraoperative findings did corroborate with the preoperative imaging findings and were again confirmed later from the histopathology report. Conclusion Aneurysmal bone cysts of sphenoid bone with orbital extension, though rare, can be excised completely, without hampering the cosmesis. Being benign, patients can have a prolonged recurrence-free period if the lesion is completely excised.

Abstract The natural history of our moral stance told here in this commentary reveals the close nexus of morality and basic social-cognitive capacities. Big mysteries about morality thus transform into smaller and more manageable ones. Here, I raise questions regarding the conceptual, ontogenetic, and evolutionary relations of the moral stance to the intentional and group stances and to shared intentionality.
