“…Therefore, histopathological confirmation is crucial in forming a diagnosis. However, these results must be interpreted with great care, since confusion regarding the diagnosis may still occur if the tissue sample is taken from a small biopsy or a limited sample (28)(29)(30). In the present study, the exact diagnosis of GCT with secondary ABC was only determined after histopathological evaluation of the entire tumor.…”

Abstract.The patella is an unusual location for primary and metastatic bone tumors to develop. The most frequently encountered primary osteolytic lesions at the patella include giant cell tumors of the bone (GCT), chondroblastoma and aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC). However, the presentation of an ABC originating secondary to a GCT at the patella is rare. The present study describes such a case in a 46-year-old female. The differential diagnosis of the condition was extensive. The patient underwent curettage and the addition of bone cement to fill the defect. Pathological analysis of the resected tissue demonstrated that the lesion was consistent with an ABC forming secondary to a GCT. A 3-month follow-up was completed subsequent to the surgery, with a computed tomography scan demonstrating no evidence of recurrence. However, frequent and continuous observations of the patient following diagnosis are planned in order to evaluate the long-term efficacy of the surgical treatment. To the best of our knowledge, the present study describes the third reported case in the literature of this rare, double synchronous, benign tumor located at the patella.

“…They are most commonly found in the vertebrae and metaphysis of the long bones. (2,3,6,(8)(9)(10). Only a small percentage of ABCs are found in the skull and mandible, ranging from 3 to 6%.…”

“…Histological examination usually reveals cysts lined with spindle-shaped fibroblasts surrounding the venous bloodfilled lesion. Multinucleated giant cells along with stromal cells may also be scattered within the lesion (6,8,9,13,14). Treatment modalities range from simple surgery to a combination of methods.…”

This study aimed to report a rare case of occipital aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) in an adult patient. ABCs account for 1% of primary bone tumors. They are usually seen in pediatric age and rare in adults. They are benign fibro-osseous lesions, but they also tend to double in size rapidly and destruct the morphology of the bone. They have a tendency to extend to the long bones and vertebral column. The calvarial ABCs are 3%-6% of ABC. They usually affect the frontal and temporal bones of the skull, and cranial nerve findings are frequently seen. In the adulthood, occipital ABCs are extremely rare. Sixteen cases of occipital ABC, average age 15 years, have been reported in the literature. A 50-year-old female patient was admitted to the clinic with the history of an occipital mass lesion, which had been growing for 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography of the cranium revealed an irregular-shaped destructive lesion of 55 × 18 × 28 mm 3 in the diploe part of the occipital bone. The mass with an approximately 6 cm radius, and 1 cm normal bone edge was completely excised. Because of total resection, no adjuvant therapy was performed. Neither recurrence nor residual lesion was observed in the postoperative 24 months.

Aneurysmal bone cyst are benign rapidly expanding bone destructive lesions of any bone. They are common in the metaphysis of long bones but 10-30% involve the spine. Cervical region involvement is uncommon. We report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst of clivus C1 and C2 with minimum symptoms. Involvement of C1 and clivus separately had been reported in past, but simultaneous involvement of both is presented in this report for the very first time.KeywOrds: Aneurysmal bone cyst, Spine, Clivus ÖZAnevrizmal kemik kistleri herhangi bir kemikte görülebilen iyi huylu ancak tutmuş olduğu kemikte hızla genişleme yaparak harabiyete neden olur. Uzun kemiklerin metafizlerini yaygın olarak tutmakla beraber yüzde 10-30 oranında omurgada tutulum yapabilir. Servikal bölge tutulumu nadirdir. Klivus, servikal 1 ve 2. omurlarında anevrizmal kemik kistine bağlı tutulumu olan ve minimal semptomu olan hasta olgu olarak sunulmaktadır. Geçmişte, clivus veya servikal 1. omurun anevrizmal kemik kisti ile tutulumu ayrı vakalar halinde sunulmuştur, bizim olgumuz ise eşzamanlı olarak klivus ve servikal 1-2 omurgalarının aynı olguda tutulması ilk kez sunulmaktadır.
