“…Treatment modalities range from simple surgery to a combination of methods. Although curettage followed by bone grafting is the most commonly employed modality, it has a high recurrence rate of 20%-40% (7,11,15,16). In the present case, the cyst was completely and aggressively scraped out to decrease the chance of recurrence.…”

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.

“…Focal neurologic deficits, proptosis, signs of increased ICP, headache and conductive hearing loss may be found depending on location of the tumor [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. The temporal petrous bone is an extremely rare location for this neoplasm.…”

“…Our review of the literature found 15 cases of ABC of the temporal bone, and only 1 report which involves the petrous bone [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21]. Information for analysis was available for 12 of these cases (table 1) [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16].…”

“…In this location, ABC present as a painful swelling, tender to palpation, which has been present a few months [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Less common symptoms include headache [3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12], focal neurologic deficits [13, 14], proptosis [12], conductive hearing loss [10, 11, 15], painless swelling [16]and signs of increased intracranial pressure [1, 2]. …”

Objective and Importance: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are benign bone neoplasms which typically involve the spine and long bones. We present a rare case of an ABC in the temporal bone with significant cerebellar compression. Clinical Presentation: The patient was a young boy who presented with several weeks of left posterior auricular pain. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and angiogram showed an expansile bone neoplasm involving the left petrous temporal bone. Intervention: A retrosigmoid-transmastoid craniectomy was performed, and total removal of the bone lesion was achieved. The pathological examination revealed the diagnosis of ABC. Conclusion: The postoperative course was uneventful, and the imaging studies demonstrated total removal of the neoplasm. This case represents the imaging and surgical management of a rare ABC in the temporal bone. This diagnosis should be considered in the differential of bone neoplasms in this region.
