Aneurysmal bone cyst of the ethmoid bone

Abstract: SUMMARYA 90-year-old woman presented with headache and diplopia, and a mass in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses was found on CT scan. The patient underwent examination under anaesthesia showing a mass arising from the ethmoid, apparently from the nasal septum. Biopsies taken showed an aneurysmal bone cyst. The patient opted against surgery and has been managed conservatively. A second CT scan 4 years later showed significant increase in size. BACKGROUND

“…Radiologically it is important to differentiate these lesions from giant cell tumour, giant cell reparative granuloma, hemorrhagic cyst, plasmacytoma or fibrous dysplasia. The surgical method of choice is the complete excision of the lesion (4,21,22). Our case was 11 years old and this was similar to previous case reports although it was different from them with regards to gender.…”
