Rare Site

An aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign lesion usually involving the long bones, vertebrae including odontoid, hypoid and mandible. Skull is a rare site for aneurysmal bone cyst. Only 3% occur in the cranium and sites of involvement include temporal, occipital, orbital, frontal, parietal, ethmoids and sphenoid bones in order of frequency. We report two cases of aneurysmal bone cysts in occipital bone and maxilla. We discuss the radiological features, surgical findings and emphasize the role of endovascular management in these lesions.

Abstract Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs); are relatively uncommon, benign lesions. Fully 50% occur in long bones and 20% in the vertebral column, mostly in patients under 20 years of age. We report a case of an ABC in the odontoid process of a 74-year-old who sought treatment for pain and myelopathy. This is the first case reported of an ABC of the odontoid process.

Aneurysmal Bone Cysts

PurposeWe have reviewed a series of 150 aneurysmal bone cysts treated over the last 20 years.Patients and MethodsThe lesions were principally located in the tibia, femur, pelvis, humerus, and spine and, in most cases, presented the imaging appearance originally described by Jaffe and Lichtenstein as a blowout with thin cortices.ResultsOnly one of the patients was believed to have an osteoblastoma of the spine with secondary development of an aneurysmal bone cyst, and none of the patients developed additional lesions. The patients were treated primarily with curettage and implantation of allograft chips or polymethylmethacrylate, but some patients were treated with insertion of autografts or allografts. The local recurrence rate was 20%, which is consistent with that reported by other centers.ConclusionAneurysmal bone cysts are enigmatic lesions of unknown cause and presentation and are difficult to distinguish from other lesions. Overall, the treatment is satisfactory, but it is possible that newer approaches, such as improved magnetic resonance imaging studies, may help diagnose the lesions and allow the physicians to plan for more effective treatment protocols.

Abstract Background Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs), were first described by Drs. Jaffe and Lichenstein in 1942 when they described pelvic and spine lesions that when exposing the lesion and opening in to its thin wall, the surgeon was immediately confronted by a large hole containing much fluid blood. Aim of the Work To describe the efficacy of new line treatment modalities of (Aneurysmal Bone Cysts) compared to conventional lines of management regarding the: • Long term outcomes and healing rate. • Recurrence rates. • Complications after therapy. Patients and Methods Criteria for considering studies for this review: • Types of the studies: published observational analytical studies (case-control_ case-series _ RCT or cohort studies) which studied the efficiency of new lines in the management of aneurysmal bone cyst. • Types of participants: participants were children and young age (below the age of 50 yrs) with a diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst. • Types of interventions: drugs like (Bisphosphonate or denosumab) were administered for a time determined by the case improvement, or minimally invasive techniques like (cryosurgery or curopsy) was done. Results Through the results of our study that compared between these recent modalities according to healing, recurrence, and complications rate; we are able to say that recent strategies have a high rate of healing ranges from 78.57% with bisphosphonate to 100% with doxycycline and cryotherapy. Conclusion There are recent evolving trends in the management of ABC other than the classic ways of management, they are less invasive, have less recurrence rate reaches to 0 % like with bisphosphonate, less complications rate as well reaches to 0 % like with doxycycline and bisphosphonate, high healing rate reaches to 100 % like with doxycycline and taking in consideration how to handle cases of ABC that classic way of management can’t handle like spinal ABC.

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign but locally aggressive lytic lesions of bone. Surgical curettage and cancellous bone grafting resulted in complete clinical and partial radiographic resolution of an aneurysmal bone cyst of the distal tibia.

Prompt Diagnosis

ABSTRACTAneurysmal bone cysts rarely affect the skull. Thirty-six cases including four reported in this paper are reviewed. The condition usually affects children and young adults and progresses rapidly. It may result in raised intracranial or intraorbital pressure. Complete excision of the mass is the treatment of choice, but if not feasible curettage followed by low dose radiotherapy is effective. As the prognosis in this condition is good, prompt diagnosis and early treatment are of utmost importance.

Aneurysmal Bone Cysts

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign lesions that rarely occur in the bones of the hand. Curettage and bone grafting are the most common treatment modalities performed considering the possible functional loss after total excision. Four cases of aneurysmal bone cyst of the hand were identified. Three out of four cases were treated initially with curettage and bone grafting alone without any other local therapy. One had total excision of the lesion. There were two recurrences in the curettage group. Both were treated with excision and followed up for a minimum of 12 months. Curettage alone was associated with high recurrence rates. Total excision of the lesion was the most successful procedure employed. In view of the high recurrence rates following curettage alone and non-neoplastic nature of the lesion, adjuvant treatment modalities such as cryosurgery, electric cauterisation should be considered for initial treatment of ABC. Resection should be preserved for recurrent cases.

Benign Bone Tumours

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare benign bone tumours. Scapula is a very rare location, and the relative literature is sparse. The purpose of this study is to present a case of a giant aggressive scapular aneurysmal bone cyst in a child. A 7-year-old boy presented to our hospital with pain and a palpated mass on the right scapula. Imaging studies (radiographs computed tomography scintigraphy) were indicative of aneurysmal bone cyst. We performed curettage and bone grafting after the diagnosis was set by pathological examination through a posterior shoulder approach. Five years later, the patient has only residual signs of the lesion on radiographic control without signs of recurrence.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign progressive expansile bone lesion that usually involves often located in vertebrae, long tubular bones and flat bones. A small percentage of aneurysmal bone cysts arise from the skull base. Skull base involvement is very rare. Here, we describe a 22-year young man presented with diplopia, right sided facial paresis and right sided sensori-neural hearing loss. CT scan and MRI showed a right petrous apex skull base mass that was confirmed as ABC in histopathology after surgical removal. Journal of Science Foundation, January 2020;18(1):25-28

✓ The authors describe the case of an 18-year-old man who presented with complaints of weakness and paresis in his arms following an injury. Radiological examination demonstrated an aneurysmal bone cyst of C-6. The patient underwent a two-stage operation. Satisfactory results were obtained after complete resection of the lesion, laminoplasty, and anterior fusion without placement of instrumentation. The authors consider a two-stage operation supplemented by fusion without instrumentation to be the best treatment for young patients with aneurysmal bone cysts occurring at C-6.

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.
