Aneurysmal cyst: Case report.
Author(s): Amal Lachkar*, Bouzoubaa SM and Ben Yahya I
The aneurysmal bone cyst (KOA) is a benign cystic lesion of the bones. It is consisted of
blood-filled cavities separated from each other by septa of connective tissue comprising
fibroblasts, giant osteoplastic cells, and a larger trabecular meshwork bone, more or
less abundant. It affects especially the long bones and the rachis. It occurs mainly in
children and young adults, with a slight predominance of women. We report the case
of a KOA in a young 13 year old patient, with accidental radiological discovery. The
purpose of the presentation of this case is to identify the diagnostic, therapeutic and
prognostic features of this lesion which lyses the bone aggressively and can simulate a
variety of aggressive tumors. .. View More»
