We describe a rare case of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) that occurred in the petrous portion of the temporal bone. The ABCs were treated with preoperative embolization and complete removal of the mass from the adjacent tissue. The technical details suggest that preoperative embolization is a good treatment option for ABCs.

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are blood-filled, locally destructive, expansile lesions of the bone. ABC of the proximal femur is usually unilateral in presentation. As far as the English literature is concerned, there is no case report of bilateral involvement of the proximal femur by primary ABC. We hereby present a rare case of bilateral primary ABC of the proximal femur with pathological fracture of the right femoral neck. The patient underwent right hip hemiarthroplasty and open biopsy and curettage of the left proximal femur. ABC is usually unilateral in location. Whenever there is a bilateral lesion in the proximal femur usually ABC is not suspected as a differential diagnosis, but ABC may have a bilateral presentation.

✓ 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 OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: A rare case of aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the temporal bone is presented which, following recurrence after surgery, was successfully treated with radiotherapy. The role of radiotherapy in such cases is reviewed. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 30-year-old man presented with a recurrent swelling and pain in right temporal region following surgery for ABC at that site. INTERVENTION: Local radiotherapy to a dose of 31.5 Gy in 18 fractions over 3.5 weeks was delivered to the site of recurrence. The patient had a near total regression of the ABC as evident clinically and on radiological images. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, radiation for the recurrent ABC at the temporal bone has not been described in the literature. However, in view of the response evident in this patient, radiotherapy seems to be effective for recurrent cases of ABC at the temporal bone and a dose of around 30 to 36 Gy could be effectively delivered with satisfactory results.

Endolymphatic sac tumor is rare, locally aggressive and non-metastasizing neoplasm arising from the endolymphatic sac of the petrous portion of the temporal bone. Most occur in adult and present with ipsilateral hearing loss. They can be sporadic or associated with Von-Hippel-Lindau disease. Patient with endolymphatic sac tumor should be screened for VHL disease. We report a case of 52-year-old female with dizziness and headache. Histopathology was consistent with typical features of endolymphatic sac tumor. This was confirmed by cytokeratin and EMA positivity and TTF-1 negativity. This case is presented for its rarity with only few cases reported.

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign bone lesions arising mostly in the pediatric population that can cause local pain, swelling, and pathologic fracture. It is occasionally an aggressive benign lesion whose treatment of choice is complete resection, even though the risk of profuse intraoperative bleeding exists. We here report a case of spinal aneurysmal bone cyst treated by surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are an uncommon entity predominantly encountered in the pediatric population. The skull is rarely involved, but these cysts have been reported to arise in the skull base. Traditional treatment has been with surgery alone; however, there is a gathering body of literature that reports alternative treatments that can achieve long-term disease-free survival. However, these therapies are predominantly directed at peripheral skeletal lesions. To the authors’ knowledge, this report is the first to describe long-term follow-up of the efficacy of Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery for treatment of ABC residuum in the skull base that resulted in long-term patient stability and likely ABC obliteration.
