Epidemiology of aneurysmal bone cyst in children: a multicenter study and literature review

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to review the demographic data of children and adolescents with aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs). The authors performed a retrospective, multicenter, pediatric population-based analysis of 156 patients with primary ABCs. Only patients with histologic confirmation of the diagnosis were included. A review of French and English literature of 255 children and adolescents was included regarding sex, location of the lesion and age at diagnosis. There were 212 boys and 199 girls with a media… Show more

“…Total patellectomy or a patellar prosthesis is recommended for aggressive lesions that disrupt the patellar articular surface [10,13]. Recurrence rates after curettage vary widely from 9% to 71%, with lesions of the humerus and femur most common [1,4]. Some authors have reported higher recurrence rates with aneurysmal bone cysts in children younger than 15 years [20].…”

“…Some authors have reported higher recurrence rates with aneurysmal bone cysts in children younger than 15 years [20]. The average time between surgery and initial recurrence was 7.6 months [4]. Repeated extended curettage and bone graft are recommended in the event of recurrence.…”

“…Spine lesions also frequently are seen. Although epiphyseal extension has been reported in association with metaphyseal ABCs [17], to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a primary ABC entirely contained in the epiphysis [6,12,13,18]. In 1999, a review of 15 juxtaphyseal ABCs showed no growth arrest before or after surgical treatment, which consisted of excision, curettage, adjunctive cauterization (in two cases), and bone grafting.…”

“…It occurs more often in the skeletally immature, although there is a wide range of age at diagnosis [6,12,13]. An ABC can involve any bone, but it is more commonly located in the metaphysis of long bones and the posterior elements of the spine.…”

“…In the Cottalorda et al demographic data, 62.7% of ABCs occurred in the long bones: the femur, tibia, spine, humerus, pelvis, and fibula were the most common location. [3] Only 2% of the lesions appear in the jaws [4] and the presence of ABC in the mandibular condyle is quite rare. Histologically, ABC is classified as a pseudocyst composed of blood-filled chambers surrounded and traversed by benign-appearing macrophages, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, bone-forming cells, and osteoclastlike multinucleated giant cells without epithelial lining.…”
