“…8, 13 The predilections are femur, tibia, humerus, spine, pelvis, ribs, small bones of the hands and feet. 14 As many as 10 -30% occurs in spine with predominance of the lumbar spine and equal occurrence in thoracic and cervical spine. 3 At present, the pathophysiological process of aneurysmatic bone cysts formation is still not completely elucidated.…”

“…17 The local vascular alteration may be due to secondary to preexisting bone tumor such as giant cell tumor, osteoblastoma, osteosarcoma, and chondroblastoma; failure in vascular repair due to traumatic injury; and vascular malformation in bone. 14,15 In the 1990s, Kransdorf and Sweet proposed that ABCs were the secondary changes to a vascular malformation which was caused by evolutionary alteration of a preexisting bone tumor. It led to the formation of a second lesion in the bone that masked the primary bone pathology that triggering it.…”

“…The latter is distinguished by the ossification of the lesion and only a small group of these patients reaches this stage. 14 Therefore, at the end of the 1990s, the study by Panoutsakopoulos et al showed that some ABCs had a genetic component that could trigger the appearance of these tumors. These chromosomal mutations consisted of translocations of chromosomes 16 and 17.…”

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.

The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the imaging features of the most prevalent benign bone tumors involving the spine. Benign tumors of the osseous spine account approximately for 1% of all primary skeletal tumors. Many lesions exhibit characteristic radiologic features. In addition to age and location of the lesion, radiographs are an essential step in the initial detection and characterization but are limited to complex anatomy and superposition. CT and MR imaging are often mandatory for further characterization, assessment of local extension and guiding biopsy.

“…It commonly arises from the long bones, but approximately 12-30% of lesions involve the spine. [1][2][3][4] The lumbar spine is the most frequent site, followed by the thoracic spine (34% and 32%, respectively), and only 2% of ABCs occur in the cervical spine. [1,3,4] ABC is a benign tumor formed by blood-filled cavities separated by connective tissue and encircled by a thin cortical bone that may expand.…”

A primary aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the spine is a benign lesion with an aggressive nature that can lead to bone destruction and the potential of recurrence after surgical resection. This report focuses on a rare case of the primary ABC in the proximal thoracic spine that is associated with paraplegia in a 7-year-old patient. Nonetheless, the previous research has confirmed that the best therapy for thoracic lesions is challenging and the paucity of evidence-based practice remains an impediment to addressing the issue. The main attribute that leads to these difficulties is the position of the lesions that occur close to the spine and the documented relationship to deformity. Surgical resection decompression can be used alone or in combination with fixation, curettage, selective arterial embolization, and radiotherapy. This report aimed to discuss the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic features of the primary spinal ABC and stress the need for complete surgical excision and decompression if complete spinal cord injury is present. We report this rare case, which was treated surgically with excellent neurological recovery and no recurrence of the ABC at 7 months of follow-up.
