Aneurysmal bone cyst




Object numberGCX.181
TitleAneurysmal bone cyst
DescriptionFemale age 8 years. This girl sustained a pathological fracture through the upper end of her right humerus. A biopsy at the initial presentation was consistent with the diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst which is strongly suggested by the "blow out" behaviour of the lesion. At the present time the lesion is being observed and no active treatment has been undertaken. X-rays showed an apparently cystic lesion of the bone involving the metaphysis with some expansion of the cortex. During the next few months, although the fracture healed, a massive increase in size of the cyst took place.
