Fibular regeneration.

Abstract

Total regeneration of an osteotomized fibula is rarely reported in the literature. An extensive literature review failed to identify a publication addressing this specific topic. The following manuscript describes such an event where the fibula was used as a source of autogenous bone graft. A case report with long-term follow-up is also presented.

"Solid" variant of aneurysmal bone cyst.

A case of the so-called "solid" variant of aneurysmal bone cyst is reported. A 12-year-old girl with a few weeks' history of backache presented with a tender palpable mass located thoraco-spinal in the back at Th 3. Radiologically, the lesion was consistent with conventional aneurysmal bone cyst. Morphologically, it showed fibroblastic, fibrohistiocytic, fibromyxoid, osteoclastic and osteoblastic components as well as small aneurysmal sinusoids. Based on four other well documented cases, the clinico-pathological features and the differential diagnostical problems are discussed.
