Diagnosis of hydatid disease (HD) is usually based on its clinical and radiologic presentation. However, radiologic appearances of bone lesions are nonspecific and mimic inflammatory diseases and neoplasms.6 Despite limited experience with fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the evaluation of cystic bone lesions, HD is diagnosed in cytology.1-5 A 33-year-old woman presented with right hip p...

INTRODUCTION Simple bone cyst or unicameral bone cyst (UBC) are benign cystic lesions commonly found in femur and humerus. However hand is a very rare site of occurrence. Treatment described for UBC of hand commonly involves curettage and bone grafting. CASE REPORT A 7 year old right hand dominant girl presented to us with chief complaints of pain and swelling in right 4th metacarpal since 2 ...

Material and Methods: This study included 27 patients of both sex (17 males & 10 females) aged 20 48 years. They were divided into 3 groups, each group contained 9 Patients. All patients in all groups were selected to have large cystic cavities in their dental arches of different etiological factors, ranged in diameter 1.5 – 3.5 cm, and not approaching any vital structures. They underwent surgi...

A 48-year-old man referred with pain and swelling at the upper and middle third of left tibia with a history of previous osseous hydatid disease three years ago. Despite surgical procedure which was performed in this case, recurrence was observed and repeated exploration with wide resection and oral medical therapy were recommended. Bone hydatid cyst is an uncommon disease with difficult respon...

A 29-year-old healthy patient was submitted for exploration of intraosseous, unicystic lesions of the mandibular angle distal to the wisdom tooth of both sides. Histological investigation of the enucleated cystic lesions revealed bilaterally developed lymphoepithelial cysts (LEC). Healing was uneventful and re-ossification of the bone complete. LEC are rarely diagnosed in oral tissues and usual...

Intraosseous ganglia are benign cystic lesions located in the subchondral bone. Intraosseous ganglion cysts of the ankle are relatively uncommon. We present a case of recurrent intraosseous ganglion in the ankle of a 41-year-old female who had recurrence after initial surgery. She was treated effectively by curettage and autogenous cancellous bone grafting. At the final follow-up, satisfactory ...

PURPOSE To determine the diagnostic accuracy of image-guided percutaneous biopsy in 110 primary bone tumors of varying internal compositions. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred ten consecutive patients with primary bone tumors underwent biopsy with computed tomography (CT) or fluoroscopy. Ninety-one patients underwent surgical follow-up and 19 received medical treatment and underwent subsequen...

Talar dome chondral and osteochondral lesions are a common cause of ankle pain and subjective instability. The goal of imaging these lesions is primarily their detection, demonstration of their position and extent, including status of the chondral surface, demonstration of any associated chondral delamination, assessment of the integrity of the subchondral plate, and assessment of the cancellou...

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are expansile cystic lesions that can affect any bone of the body. Whilst these lesions are histologically benign, the lesions are locally aggressive and can affect the integrity of the affected bone as well as surrounding structures. ABCs arising in the head and neck region, particularly the paranasal sinuses are rare and they are limited to case reports in the lit...
