“…In some cases, the diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst is difficult because the radiological lesions are similar to other benign or malignant conditions, especially in unusual sites such as the base of the skull. 20,34 In the present case, an important differential diagnosis to be considered at the neurological examination would be hypothalamic-pituitary-axis lesions. However, the radiological aspect of the lesion was a massive cystic formation with a solid portion spontaneously denser than the cerebral parenchyma and sellar bone erosion, 35 not corresponding to the description of the neuroimaging aspect of most pituitary macroadenomas.…”

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Skull Base—Case Report

Introduction Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are pseudotumoral bone lesions of unknown etiology that are also hypervascularized, benign, and locally destructive. They are rare in the base of the skull. The present case report describes a case of aneurysmal bone cyst in the sella turcica. Case Report The present study was developed at the department of neurosurgery of the Hospital Universitário Professor Alberto Antunes of the Universidade Federal de Alagoas (HUPAA-AL, in the Portuguese acronym), Maceió, state of Alagoas, Brazil, and is accompanied by a review of the literature from the PubMed database. A 17-year-old female patient with bitemporal hemianopia and intense left hemicranial headache associated with symptoms from the cranial nerves contained in the cavernous sinus. Neuroimaging evidenced a large lesion in the suprasellar region with calcification foci, sellar erosion, and extension to the cavernous sinus. The patient was submitted to a partial lesion resection and the histopathological analysis showed an aneurysmal bone cyst. Conclusion A rare case of intracranial aneurysmal bone cyst, with the important differential diagnosis from pituitary adenoma.

“…The associated bony pathology included fibrous dysplasia, chondroblastoma, osteoblastoma, nonossifying fibroma, and giant cell tumors. 2 It is postulated that the initiating process of the ABC is the microcyst, which forms as a result of intercellular edema in a primary lesion with loose, unsupported stroma. Rupture of vessels into the microcysts introduces blood under hemodynamic pressure.…”

“…Other lesions such as telangiectatic osteosarcoma, giant cell granuloma, and benign fibro-osseous lesions also have been reported to have similar multiple fluid level appearance on the MRI images. 1,2 Histologically, the lesion is characterized by the presence of multiple loculations, filled with venous blood and lined by spindle-shaped fibroblasts and with scattered multinucleated giant cells and stromal cells.…”

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign osteolytic bony lesion that can be locally destructive. The skull base is an uncommon location for this tumor with a reported incidence of 3 to 6%. In the literature, we found only 11 cases of skull base ABC reported till 2010, with only 2 involving the posterior cranial fossa skull base. This is the first case involving both the middle and posterior cranial fossa skull base reported till date.

“…Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of skull base is relatively rare and constitutes only 1% of cases. 2,3 Review of literature reveals that by far only 11 cases of ABC of clivus have been reported. 3 There are three phases in the development of aneurysmal bone cyst, namely 1.…”

BACKGROUNDAneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) is a benign lesion, well documented in the metaphysis of the long bones and also in the thorax, pelvis, and vertebrae. But the occurrence of aneurysmal bone cyst in clivus is rare and accounts for only 1% of all cases. In this case report, we hereby discuss about an 11-year-old female who presented with neck swelling for a prolonged duration and histopathological examination revealed an aneurysmal bone cyst. This case is being presented for its rarity and also to bear in mind as a differential diagnosis in spite of its rare location. BACKGROUND Aneurysmal Bone Cysts (ABC) are benign cystic lesions of the bone. They most commonly occur in first two decades of life, having a predilection for the metaphysis of the long bones such as tibia, femur, humerus, posterior elements of vertebral bodies. Aneurysmal bone cyst occurring in the base of skull, particularly clivus is a rare occurrence and accounts for less than or equal to 1% of the cases. We hereby present a case of an 11-year-old female child who presented with the same. KEYWORDS
