Patients presenting with prolonged ankle pain following trivial trauma should be clinically and radiologically investigated. We present two young adults with incidentally diagnosed lytic lesion of talus. They underwent extended curettage and biopsy. Histopathological examination proved as aneurysmal and simple bone cyst and went for a secondary procedure of bone grafting. We want to emphasize t...

Aneurysmal cysts of bone are rare non-neoplastic, locally aggressive lesion of bone with propensity for rapid growth, affecting mainly the long bones and spine. It rarely occurs in the head and neck region and within the head and neck mandible (especially the molar areas) is common. Aneurysmal cyst of bone involving the maxilla in the first decade of life is even rarer. We report a case of gian...

Aneurysmal bone cyst is an uncommon bone lesion which rarely occurs in craniofacial region. Among all the cystic lesions occurring in the jaws, aneurysmal bone cyst is infrequent and it more commonly occurs in the mandible. Most of the cases occur in the first two decades of life, with no gender predilection. Here, we are presenting a case of an aneurysmal bone cyst which occurred in the mandib...

STUDY DESIGN The bone union rate after lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) using titanium (Ti) or polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages was investigated retrospectively. OBJECTIVE To assess whether the PEEK cage is superior to the Ti cage in terms of bone union after LIF. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA We previously reported that the formation of vertebral endplate cysts is useful for predicting nonunion...

Aneurysmal bone cyst, first described by Jaffe and Lichtenstein I in 1942 as a rare, localized tumor of the long bones and spinal vertebrae, characterized by the "blowout distention" of the skeletal contour on a radiograph.2 This neoplasm, usually found in children and young adults, constitutes 1.4 percent of all primary bone tumors.3 The cyst is occasionally associated with other tumors of the...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the incidence of simple renal cyst, the relationship between both size and location of cysts, and the effect on calyces; and to correlate symptomatology and effect on the pelvicalyceal system. METHODS Abdominal ultrasound examination was performed in 2010 patients for different reasons. Simple renal cysts were demonstrated in 110 patients harbouring 198 cysts. The cysts...

MR findings in a case of aneurysmal bone cyst of the temporal bone are described. MR can suggest the diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst and also give ancillary information that is helpful for surgical treatment.

Arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament has been modernized through new surgical techniques and new materials. When tibial fixation is performed using an absorbable screw, complications may occur, such as formation of a pre-tibial cyst. The case described here is about a patient who presented an anteromedial synovial cyst in his right knee, three years after having undergo...
