“…Aneurysmal bone cyst was firstly described by Van Arsdale in 1893 as ossifying hematomas, and in 1942 the term of ABC was started to being used. 12 These lesions are benign, tumor-like, locally aggressive and highly vascular. They grow quickly and predominantly inside long bones with filled cystic cavities 4,7-9, 13 and multiple internal septations of varying thickness.…”

Aneurysmal bone cysts: Case report and literature reviewBackground: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are benign lesions with great vascularization and expandability. They represent approximately 1% of all bone tumors. These lesions are characterized by having multiple cavities filled with blood. In most cases, they are located in the thoracic and lumbar region. In this article, we aimed to present a clinical case and followed by review of relevant literature regarding pathophysiology, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this pathology. Case presentation: A 41-year-old woman came with chief complaint of developing pain in the left hip, right gluteal region, and right posterior thigh for last 10 months. We performed hip plain x-ray, which suggested a left hip injury. Further investigation using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed and revealed tumor of the left hip. A biopsy guided by TAC was performed. The histopathologic examination revealed numerous small vascular spaces lined with endothelial cells, abundant pools of red blood cells were seen, and hemosiderin pigment was seen at places along with giant cells, which was suggestive of ABC. Conclusion: Aneurysmal bone cysts are lesions that represent a small percentage of the total osseous tumors. Sacral localization is rare and the manifestations are nonspecific.

“…Van Arsdale first described aneurysmal bone cysts as ossifying hematomas in 1893, and in 1942 the term ABC began to be used [ 4 ]. The pathophysiology of ABCs is debated, but most authors suggest that they develop owing to intercellular edema caused by the primary lesion expanding the surrounding loose stroma and permitting rupture of vessels into the microcysts under hemodynamic pressure, thereby causing a blood-filled cyst [ 5 ].…”

Unusual presentation of aneurysmal bone cyst with scoliosis: a case report

et al. 2022

Background Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign bone tumors that not uncommonly involves the spine. However, this involvement can cause scoliosis, albeit rarely. This report focuses on the importance of proper management for complete tumor resection to prevent recurrence and spinal deformity. Case presentation A 12-year-old Middle Eastern boy, with a history of T11 aneurysmal bone cyst resection and bone grafting carried out at another hospital, presented with spine deformity of 4 months’ duration. The deformity was not associated with pain or neurological deficit. A whole-spine magnetic resonance imaging with contrast confirmed the recurrence of the aneurysmal bone cyst. Posterior spinal instrumentation with corpectomy of T11 was then performed, and confirmed with histopathology the recurrence of aneurysmal bone cyst. Two years post-corpectomy, deformity correction was done from T5–L4. Conclusion Management of aneurysmal bone cysts requires meticulous planning and full excision to prevent recurrence, especially in the growing spine. If neglected, it can cause major spinal deformities and cord compression, which places a medical burden on the patient and family. To avoid such complications, treating aneurysmal bone cysts along with scoliosis correction can prevent deformity progression.
