The aneurysmal bone cyst is a type of pseudocysts of the jaw. It is a nonneoplastic lesion of the bone, characterized by replacement with fibro-osseous tissue containing blood-filled sinusoidal or cavernous spaces. The lesion remains a relatively uncommon finding in the facial bones, and the cause and pathogenesis are yet to be elucidated. Aneurysmal bone cyst was first described as a distinct ...

A simple bone cyst of the proximal humeral metaphysis was found to cause growth disturbance with shortening and deformity in four patients. All had one pathological fracture. Three of them were treated with cortisone injections; the fourth patient, who presented an erosion of the physis, was treated with saline solution irrigation. Four hypotheses about the aetiology of growth arrest in the evo...

Introduction: An eruption cyst is one of the odontogenic involving soft tissue, associated with primary or permanent tooth that lies behind cyst. It often occurs in children; first molars and maxillary incisors are most prevalent teeth. Case: This article report an case a 9-year-old female patient. The patient came swelling on gingiva overlying crown 14, , clinically, has not erupted yet. Intra...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to examine the clinical usefulness and efficacy of endoscopic curettage on benign bone tumor. METHODS Thirty-two patients (20 men and 12 women) with benign bone tumor were included in the study. The patients were aged between five and 76 years; the mean follow-up period was 27.05 months (range, 9.6 to 39.9 months). The primary sites include simple bone cyst...

Acetabular intraosseous cysts are frequently encountered in patients with dysplasia or femoroacetabular impingement. Small cysts are typically addressed by removing the cyst lining and stimulating healing via microfracture or abrasion chondroplasty. In contrast, larger cysts involving 1-3 cm(3) frequently require additional fortification with bone graft material to facilitate osseous ingrowth a...

Unicameral bone cyst of the lunate bone is a rare condition the incidence of which has not been described in literature. We present here a case of a symptomatic lunate cyst in a 40 year old female followed up for two years and operated in view of increase intensity of symptoms and radiological evidence of cortical thinning. The cyst cavity was filled with autologous cancellous bone graft taken ...

This pilot study analysed the outcome of open versus endoscopic curettage and bone grafting for the treatment of simple calcaneal bone cysts. A total of 26 patients were evaluated into two equal groups: group 1 was treated with traditional open curettage and bone grafting and group 2 was treated with endoscopic curettage and percutaneous bone grafting. Cyst size, operating time, length of stay,...

Secondary aneurysmal bone cyst in fibrous dysplasia is exceedingly rare, especially in the skull and particularly in the frontal bone. We present a case of aneurysmal bone cyst concomitant with fibrous dysplasia in the frontal bone in a 15-year-old male patient presenting with headache and euphoria with an uncharacteristic imaging appearance and treated successfully by total resection.
