Response of aneurysmal bone cyst to low doses of cobalt 60 gamma radiation with prolonged treatment.

Successful treatment of two cases of aneurysmal bone cyst by cobalt 60 gamma radiation using low doses over prolonged periods (1400 rad in seven weeks and 1600 rad in eight months) is reported. Follow-up of four to ten years duration does not reveal any recurrence or complications. The merit of low dose, prolonged interval irradiation over surgery is discussed. This technique is recommended for aneurysmal bone cysts in children, especially at inaccessible sites.
