Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign lesions that rarely occur in the bones of the hand. Curettage and bone grafting are the most common treatment modalities performed considering the possible functional loss after total excision. Four cases of aneurysmal bone cyst of the hand were identified. Three out of four cases were treated initially with curettage and bone grafting alone without any other local therapy. One had total excision of the lesion. There were two recurrences in the curettage group. Both were treated with excision and followed up for a minimum of 12 months. Curettage alone was associated with high recurrence rates. Total excision of the lesion was the most successful procedure employed. In view of the high recurrence rates following curettage alone and non-neoplastic nature of the lesion, adjuvant treatment modalities such as cryosurgery, electric cauterisation should be considered for initial treatment of ABC. Resection should be preserved for recurrent cases.

We report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the terminal phalanx of the thumb in a young boy, which was treated successfully with complete curettage with preservation of the growth plate. Three years later he was asymptomatic, with normal growth of the thumb, full range of movement and no evidence of recurrence. For this rare benign cyst in a child's hand, we recommend simple surgery to preserve the growth plate.
