Abstract

The authors report one case of aneurysmal rachidian cyst who concern a young girl of eleven years old presenting lumbagos with pyramidal irritation on a L2 and L3 lesion. The radiological exploration (CT, MRI) has a double interest: to find again lytical pictures of the rear arch blowing the cortical, liquids levels, logets which remind the macroscopical appearance of the aneurysmal rachidian cyst; to specify the regional extension of preoperative interest. The histological confirmation of the aneurysmal rachidian cyst after a surgical treatment and the conformity of anatomo-radiological descriptions, confirm the predictive value of the semeiology described in case of aneurysmal rachidian cyst.

Solid aneurysmal bone cyst with pathologic bone fracture.

A patient is presented with solid aneurysmal bone cyst of the left proximal femur and a pathologic bone fracture in this region. The radiological and histological features of this lesion are described. While a conventional aneurysmal bone cyst is an expanding osteolytic lesion consisting of blood-filled spaces of variable size, separated by connective tissue containing bone trabeculae or osteoid tissue and many osteoclastic giant cells, a solid aneurysmal bone cyst is an unusual solid bone lesion with fibroblastic, osteoclastic, osteoblastic, aneurysmal, and fibromyoxid elements. The differential diagnosis includes giant cell tumor and fibroblastic osteosarcoma as well as specific bone reactions (bone fracture, reparative giant cell granuloma in hyperparathyroidism, giant cell reaction of short tubular bones). Solid aneurysmal bone cyst is a tumor-like lesion and probably a special bone reaction to damage; it has a good prognosis. Usually curettage is curative.

Aneurysmal bone cyst involving the lunate.

Aneurysmal bone cysts are rare lesions which even more rarely involve the bones of the hand. We report a case of a cyst involving the lunate which was initially mistaken for interosseous ganglion. Due to delay in diagnosis, marked destruction of the lunate occurred, necessitating excision and scapho-capitate arthrodesis. Although rare, aneurysmal bone cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis and ruled out prior to embarking on a course of treatment.
