RESUMEN
Presentamos un caso de quiste óseo aneurismático (QOA) de ubicación infrecuente y comportamiento agresivo en un paciente masculino de 28 años, en que la resección quirúrgica es controversial por el riesgo de iatrogenia y eventual recurrencia. El tratamiento con denosumab ha sido recientemente propuesto como una alternativa para el manejo de QOAs irresecables o recurrentes; sin embargo, la literatura disponible es escasa. Reportamos nuestra experiencia en un caso y analizamos la bibliografía disponible
We present a case of aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of infrequent location and aggressive behavior in a 28-year-old male patient, in which surgical resection is controversial due to the risk of iatrogenicity and eventual recurrence. Treatment with denosumab has been recently proposed as an alternative for the management of unresectable or recurrent ABCs; however, the available literature is sparse. We report our experience with one case and analyze the available literature

ABSTRACT This study aimed to review the most required imaging tests, their characteristics, and whether the primary choice is sufficient for lesion management. PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched. The included articles were case reports or series of aneurysmal bone cysts in the mandible or maxilla that had all the information about the case, from diagnosis to follow-up. The 32 included articles showed that the first imaging test required is a panoramic radiographic examination of the cases, with only a few choosing computed tomography as the first option. The treatment of choice is usually curettage, and 9 cases had recurrences, although 17 did not report follow-up. 2D imaging examinations were the most required type when diagnosing an aneurysmal bone cyst, but 3D examinations were necessary in many cases for better evaluation and to provide more details.
RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue revisar cuáles son los exámenes de imagen más requeridos, sus características y si la elección principal es suficiente para el manejo de la lesión. Se realizaron búsquedas en las bases de datos PubMed, Web of Science y Scopus. Los artículos incluidos eran informes de casos o series de casos de quistes óseos aneurismáticos en la mandíbula o el maxilar que tenían toda la información sobre el caso, desde el diagnóstico hasta el seguimiento. Los 32 artículos incluidos mostraron que el primer examen de imagen requerido es el examen radiográfico panorámico de los casos, y solo unos pocos eligen la tomografía computarizada como primera opción. El tratamiento elegido suele ser el curetaje, y 9 casos presentaron recidivas, aunque 17 no informaron del seguimiento. Los exámenes de imagen 2D fueron el tipo más requerido a la hora de diagnosticar un quiste óseo aneurismático, pero los exámenes 3D fueron necesarios en muchos casos para una mejor evaluación y para proporcionar más detalles.
RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar quais os exames imagiológicos mais frequentemente solicitados, as suas características e se a escolha principal é suficiente para a gestão da lesão. Foram pesquisadas as bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science e Scopus.

Os 32 artigos incluídos mostraram que o primeiro exame de imagem solicitado é o exame radiográfico panorâmico dos casos, sendo que apenas alguns escolheram a tomografia computadorizada como primeira opção. O tratamento de escolha é geralmente a curetagem, e 9 casos tiveram recidivas, embora 17 não tenham relatado o acompanhamento. Os exames de imagem 2D foram os mais solicitados para o diagnóstico de cisto ósseo aneurismático, mas os exames 3D foram necessários em muitos casos para uma melhor avaliação e para fornecer mais detalhes.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the relationship between lesion size of solitary bone cyst ( SBC) and pathological fracture of calcaneus, so as to provide references for the treatment of SBC. Methods The three dimensional (3D) finite element model of foot and ankle was established based on CT images. Four models with gradient spherical bone defects were constructed in the focal area to simulate different SBC lesion sizes, and the biomechanical characteristics of calcaneus in different gait phases were analyzed. Results With the increasement of SBC size, the kinematics of calcaneus did not change significantly, but the peak stress of calcaneus increased gradually. When the SBC size exceeded 75% of the calcaneal width, the stress in calcaneal sulcus and cortical bone below SBC increased by 1. 48 times and 7. 74 times, respectively. Conclusions The risk of pathological fracture increases when the SBC diameter exceeds 75% of the calcaneal width, and early surgical intervention should be recommended. The calcaneal sulcus and the cortex bone below SBC are stress concentration regions and can be used as important areas to evaluate pathological fractures.
RESUMEN
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign expansile cystic lesion that can affect any bone of the skeleton, especially the femur, tibia, and humerus. Lesions with histologic features of an ABC can be originated within soft tissue in exceedingly rare cases. Extra-skeletal ABC may mimic a variety of benign and malignant lesions and can be confused with other common or rare giant cell-rich tumors of soft tissue. Clinical, radiological and histologic correlation are crucial in reaching the correct diagnosis. Here we report a case of an extra-skeletal ABC arising in left hemithorax in a 13-year-old girl and discuss the common differential diagnosis of this rare entity.
RESUMEN
OBJETIVO Dar a conocer nuestra experiencia en el diagnóstico diferencial de los quistes óseos simple y aneurismático mediante estudio radiológico simple. MATERIALES Y METODOS Se incluyeron pacientes menores de 20 años con radiografía de quiste óseo simple o aneurismático histológicamente confirmado pertenecientes al Registro Nacional de Tumores Óseos. Las radiografías fueron analizadas por dos radiólogos experimentados. Se compararon las variables demográficas de los pacientes, y las variables clínicas y radiológicas de ambos quistes. RESULTADOS Un total de 97 pacientes cumplieron los criterios de inclusión (65% presentaba quistes óseos simples y 35%, aneurismáticos). No se observaron diferencias en cuanto a la edad, al hueso comprometido, al tamaño de la lesión, a la expansión ósea, ni al adelgazamiento cortical. El género, la forma de presentación, la presencia de interrupción de la cortical, y la localización de la lesión en los ejes longitudinal y transversal del hueso son parámetros que podrían ser útiles en el diagnóstico diferencial de ambos quistes. DISCUSIÓN Los quistes óseos simple y aneurismático son lesiones benignas frecuentes que, de acuerdo con la literatura, serían difíciles de diferenciar únicamente con radiografía simple. La resonancia magnética permite una mejor caracterización anatómica, y aporta sensibilidad y especificidad al diagnóstico. Sin embargo, debe ser precedida por la radiografía simple, y su disponibilidad es limitada. CONCLUSIÓN Aun en centros con disponibilidad de resonancia magnética, la radiografía simple sigue siendo el estudio inicial de elección en el diagnóstico de tumores óseos. Ciertas características demográficas y radiográficas permiten orientar el diagnóstico diferencial inicial entre el quiste óseo simple y el aneurismático
OBJETIVE To describe our experience in the differential diagnosis of unicameral and aneurysmal bone cysts using plain radiography. PATIENCES AND METHODS We included patients under 20 years of age with radiographs of histologically-confirmed unicameral or aneurysmal bone cysts found on the Chilean National Bone-Tumor Registry. The radiographs were evaluated by two experienced radiologists. We compared the demographic variables of the patients, and the clinical and radiological variables of both tumors.. RESULTADOS A total of 97 patients met the inclusion criteria, 65% of whom had simple bone cysts, and 35%, aneurysmal bone cysts. No differences were found regarding age, the bone affected, the size of the lesion, bone expansion, nor cortical thinning. Gender, clinical presentation, cortical interruption, and location of the lesion on the longitudinal and transverse bone axes are parameters that could be used in the differential diagnosis of both cysts. DISCUSSION According to the literature, unicameral and aneurysmal bone cysts are frequent benign lesions that are difficult to differentiate merely through plain radiographs. Magnetic resonance imaging enables a better anatomical characterization and provides sensitivity and specificity to the diagnosis. However, its availability is limited, and it should be preceded by plain radiography. CONCLUSION Plain radiography is still the initial imaging study of choice in patients with clinical suspicion of bone tumor, even in those centers where magnetic resonance imaging is available. Certain demographic and radiological characteristics guide physicians in the differential diagnosis of unicameral and aneurysmal bone cysts.

INTRODUCCIÓN Los quistes óseos aneurismáticos (QOAs) son tumores benignos, localmente agresivos, y con importante potencial de recidiva, que representan aproximadamente el 1% de todos los tumores óseos. Se describen múltiples tratamientos, como: escisión intralesional, embolización arterial selectiva, inyección de agentes esclerosantes, y radiación. Estos tratamientos tienen una tasa variable de eficacia, ya que la recurrencia puede llegar al 20% y puede estar asociada a comorbidades graves como la pérda funcional de la extremidad. OBJETIVO Realizar una revisión integradora de la literatura sobre el uso de denosumab para el tratamiento de QOAs, describiendo el perfil epidemiológico, la dosis utilizada, y las complicaciones. MÉTODO Se recopilaron artículos publicados en los últimos cinco años en la base de datos PubMed. La información recogida de los casos reportados fue la edad, el sexo, la ubicación del tumor, la realización de cirugía antes y/o después del tratamiento con denosumab, la dosis utilizada, las complicaciones, y la recurrencia. RESULTADOS Se analizaron 7 artículos, 4 reportes de casos y 3 series de casos, escritos en inglés, y publicados de 2014 a 2019. La mayoría de los pacientes eran del sexo femenino, con una edad promedio de 14 años, y el tumor localizado en la columna. CONCLUSIÓN El uso de denosumab en el tratamiento de QOAs ha tenido una buena respuesta, ya que tiene bajas tasas de recurrencia y complicaciones; sin embargo, hacen falta más estudios para definir el protocolo de tratamiento.
INTRODUCTION Aneurysmal Bone Cysts (ABCs) are locally-aggressive benign tumors with relevant potential for recurrence, representing approximately 1% of all bone tumors. Multiple treatments are described for them, such as: intralesional excision, selective arterial embolization, injection of sclerosing agents, and radiation. These treatments have a variable efficacy rate, can reach 20% and may be associated with serious comorbidities such as functional loss of the limb. OBJETIVE To perform an integrative review of the literature on the use of denosumab in the treatment of ABCs, describing the epidemiological profile, the dosage used, and the complications. METHODOLOGY Articles published in the past five years were retrieved from the PubMed database. The information collected from the cases reported was age, gender, tumor location, the performance of surgery before and/or after the denosumab treatment, the dose used, the complications, and recurrence. RESULTS We analyzed 7 articles, 4 case reports and 3 case series, written in English, and published from 2014 to 2019. Most patients were female, with an average age of 14 years, with the tumor located in the spine. CONCLUSION The use of denosumab in the treatment of ABCs yielded good results, with low rates of recurrence and complications. However, further studies are needed to define a treatment protocol.

Introducción: El quiste óseo unicameral es una lesión pseudotumoral benigna de contenido líquido, que representa el 3 por ciento de todos los tumores primarios. El calcáneo es una localización poco frecuente y el tarso, es el hueso más afectado. Objetivo: Presentar un caso de quiste óseo unicameral del calcáneo derecho que se diagnosticó y trató en el Hospital Universitario Manuel Ascunce Domenech de Camagüey con evolución clínica favorable. Presentación del caso: Paciente masculino de 22 años, con antecedentes de salud y dolor en el calcañal derecho de dos meses de evolución, que se incrementó hasta dificultarle la marcha. A la exploración física se constató dolor a la palpación de la cara lateral del calcañal derecho, y no se recogió otro dato de interés. La tomografía axial computarizada mostró una lesión hipointensa osteolítica, amplia, con fractura anterosuperior, adelgazamiento de las corticales y con tabicado de la cámara del quiste. Se decidió tratamiento quirúrgico para excéresis y toma de muestra para biopsia, la cual reveló tejido fibroso vascularizado con osteoclastos, células gigantes multinucleadas, cristales de colesterol y hemosiderina, consistente con quiste óseo unicameral. Conclusiones: El quiste óseo unicameral es una lesión pseudotumoral benigna pero potencialmente invalidante, cuyo diagnóstico puede ser fortuito o por alguna fractura patológica. La evacuación con curetaje amplio e injerto óseo, o sus derivados, es la técnica más empleada. El paciente evolucionó de forma favorable y se clasificó como curado(AU)
Introduction: The unicameral bone cyst is a benign pseudotumoral lesion with liquid content, accounting for 3 percent of all primary tumors. The calcaneus is a rare location and the tarsus is the most affected bone. Objective: to report a case of unicameral bone cyst in a right calcaneus, which was diagnosed and treated at Manuel Ascunce Domenech Universitary Hospital in Camagüey with favorable evolution. Case report: This is the case of a 22-year-old male patient with health history of pain in his right calcaneus for two months. The pain increased and made it possible to walk. Physical examination revealed pain on palpation of the lateral aspect of the right heel, and no other data of interest was collected. A wide, hypointense osteolytic lesion was revealed by computerized axial tomography showing an anterosuperior fracture, cortical thinning, and septation of the cyst chamber. Surgery was decided for excising and biopsy sampling that revealed vascularized fibrous tissue with osteoclasts, multinucleated giant cells, cholesterol crystals and hemosiderin, consistent with a unicameral bone cyst. Conclusions: The unicameral bone cyst is a benign but potentially disabling pseudotumoral lesion. The diagnosis may be fortuitous or due to some pathological fracture. Removal with wide curettage and bone grafting, or its derivatives, is the most widely used technique. This patient evolved positively and he was classified as cured(AU)

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) and related factors of postoperative recurrence, so as to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment level of ABC in children.Methods:The clinical data of children pathologically diagnosed as ABC after surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 2010 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Clinical characteristics of the patients, including age, gender, lesion sites, and main clinical manifestations (pain, swelling, local tenderness, joint dysfunction and pathological fracture) were analyzed and summarized.Before operation, imaging Enneking staging was carried out, cyst volume was estimated, and the distance from cysts to the epiphyseal plate was measured.During surgery, patients received lesion curettage, local cautery and bone grafting, and the pathological fractures were treated with auxiliary internal fixation.Results were determined by Neer imaging grading after surgery, and grades Ⅰ and Ⅱ were postoperative recurrence.Possible recurrence factors were analyzed statistically by Fisher′ s exact test. Results:A total of 29 cases meeting the criteria were included, including 19 males and 10 females.The age ranged from 3.6 to 14.0 years old, averaging 9.2 years old; 12 patients were smaller than 10 years old and 17 patients were older than 10 years old.The cysts of 9 cases were located in proximal femur (31.0%), 5 cases in proximal humerus (17.2%), and 4 cases in proximal fibula (13.8%); The other 11 cases (37.9%) occurred in the middle and distal end; 26 cases (89.7%) had local tenderness, 25 cases (86.2%) showed varying degrees of pain, 18 cases (62.1%) presented local swelling, 15 cases (51.7%) were accompanied by joint dysfunction, and 12 cases (41.4%) were combined with pathological fractures.According to Enneking staging results, 18 cases (62.1%) were at rest stage, 7 cases (24.1%) at active stage, and 4 cases (13.8%) at invasive stage.Cyst volume was estimated to be 3.3-172.0 cm 3, with a median of about 50.8 cm 3.The distance from cysts to the epiphyseal plate was 0-85.0 mm, with a median of 20.8 mm.All children were followed up for 2.2-10.1 years (averaging 3.8 years). There were 6 cases (20.7%) of grades Ⅰ and Ⅱ according to Neer grading standard, and they suffered from recurrence about 2.5-20.3 months after surgery (averaging 12.5 months). The recurrence rate was higher in patients with cyst volume >50.8 cm 3 (42.9%, 6/14 cases) as well as in patients at active stage and invasive stage (45.5%, 5/11 cases) ( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the recurrence rate of ABC in different gender, age, the distance from cysts to the epiphyseal plate and pathological fractures. Conclusions:ABC is prone to occur in the proximal metaphysis of the long bones of children′s extremities.Main manifestations are pain, swelling, local tenderness and joint dysfunction, and ABC is frequently accompanied by pathological fractures.A higher postoperative recurrence rate is related to a larger cyst size and the active and invasion phases of the cyst, but gender, age, the distance from the cyst to the epiphyseal plate and pathological fractures are not significantly related to the postoperative recurrence rate.
RESUMEN
Resumen: Introducción: El quiste óseo aneurismático es un raro tumor osteolítico benigno, pero agresivo para el que aún no existe tratamiento ideal. Los comunicados sobre tratamiento mediante escleroterapia en población pediátrica son escasos y en nuestra región más aún. El objetivo es comunicar la experiencia del tratamiento del quiste óseo aneurismático con polidocanol 3%. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y transversal. Período: Junio de 2017 a Junio de 2021. Inclusión: pacientes con diagnóstico histológico de quiste óseo aneurismático. Bajo anestesia general y guía fluoroscópica se realizó punción intralesional con aguja 16G a través de la cual se administró lentamente el polidocanol 3%. Datos: historia clínica. Las variables cuantitativas se expresarán en medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión; las variables cualitativas se expresarán como frecuencias o porcentajes. Resultados: Se incluyeron nueve pacientes consecutivos, todos presentaban dolor y tumoración en alguna de las extremidades. Género: tres femeninos y seis masculinos. Edad: mediana 10.5 años (rango: 2-15.1). Peso: mediana 32.8 kg (rango: 11-44.5). Total de procedimientos: 44, procedimientos por paciente: promedio 4.9 (DE: ± 2.0). Tiempo de procedimiento: promedio 33.9 minutos (DE: ± 18.3); radiación: promedio 1.34 mGy (DE: ± 1.55). Hospitalización: un día, excepto un paciente. Complicaciones: Daño de piel en un caso, no recidivas. Seguimiento: de 12 a 50 meses. Conclusión: En esta serie pediátrica el polidocanol 3% fue útil y efectivo para el tratamiento del quiste óseo aneurismático con escasas complicaciones. Una desventaja es que requiere varias sesiones y además, no se ha demostrado una diferencia significativa entre otras formas de tratamiento en términos de la tasa de recurrencia.
Abstract: Introduction: The aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare benign but aggressive osteolytic tumor for which there is still no ideal treatment, the reports on treatment by sclerotherapy in the pediatric population are scarce and in our region even less. The objective is to communicate the experience of the treatment of aneurysmal bone cyst with polydocanol 3%. Material and methods: Retrospective, descriptive and cross-sectional study. Period: June/2017 to June/2021. Inclusion: patients with histological diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst; Under general anesthesia and fluoroscopic guidance, intralesional puncture with 16G needle was performed through which 3% polydocanol was slowly administered. Data: medical history. Quantitative variables shall be expressed in measures of central tendency and dispersion; qualitative variables shall be expressed as frequencies or percentages. Results: Nine consecutive patients were included, all of whom had pain and tumor in one of the extremities. Gender: 3 female and 6 male. Age: median 10.5 years (range: 2-15.1). Weight: median 32.8 kg (range: 11-44.5). Total procedures: 44; procedures per patient: mean 4.9 (SD: ± 2.0). Procedure time: mean 33.9 minutes (SD: ± 18.3); radiation: mean 1.34 mGy (SD: ± 1.55). Hospitalization: one day, except one patient. Complications: skin damage in one case, no recurrences follow-up: 12 to 50 months. Conclusion: In this pediatric series, polydocanol 3% was useful and effective for the treatment of aneurysmal bone cyst, with few complications. One disadvantage is that it requires several sessions and in addition, no significant difference has been demonstrated between other forms of treatment in terms of the recurrence rate.

Introducción:El quiste óseo aneurismático es una neoplasia benigna poco común de aparición en edad temprana. Tiene mayor incidencia en huesos largos y en la columna vertebral. Su etiología es incierta, aunquesuele asociarse a traumatismo, probablemente debido a obstrucción venosa o a la formación de fístulas que se producen tras la contusión. Caso:En este estudio se presenta el caso de un paciente de 15 años sin antecedentes de trauma que presenta un quiste óseo aneurismático en clavícula, localización poco habitual para esta patología. Evolución: Se le brindótratamiento con terapia esclerosante con Polidocanol al 3% por 8 ocasiones con respuesta favorable.No ha requerido cirugía hasta el momento. Conclusión:El tratamientoesclerosante fue exitoso en este informe de casos
Introduction: The aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare benign neoplasm that appears at an early age. It has a higher incidence in long bones and in the spine. Its etiology is uncertain, although it is usually associated with trauma, probably due to venous obstruction or the formation of fistulas that occur after contusion. Case: This study presents the case of a 15-year-old patient with no history of trauma who presents with an aneurysmal bone cyst in the clavicle, an unusual location for this pathology. Evolution: Treatment with sclerosing therapy with 3% Polidocanol was given 8 times with a favorable response. He has not required surgery so far. Conclusion: Sclerosing treatment was successful in this case report

Las tumoraciones óseas son patologías producto de modificaciones en la estructura del hueso y en su contenido, pueden presentarse como lesiones tumorales benignas o malignas, primitivas o metastásicas, en dependencia de varios factores: la edad de presentación, localización, velocidad de crecimiento, reacción perióstica e infiltración a estructuras vecinas. Las publicaciones demuestran que los quistes óseos simples asintomáticos y pequeños no requieren tratamiento, hasta el 25% son de resolución espontánea posterior a una fractura patológica; mientras que quistes más grandes con corteza delgada, requieren de algún tipo de intervención. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de sexo femenino de 17 años de edad, que acude por presentar dolor de moderada intensidad en talón izquierdo que se intensifica a la deambulación, con un tiempo de 2 meses de evolución, posterior a un trauma contuso en esta región. Al examen físico se evidencia dolor a la digito presión y maniobras de movilización activa-pasiva en cara lateral externa a nivel de calcáneo de pie izquierdo. Se realiza radiografía lateral simple de calcáneo izquierdo, donde se evidencia una lesión lítica circular de 3 por 3 cm que compromete la región anteroinferior de calcáneo. En conclusión, el quiste óseo simple o solitario, es una patología benigna, que, aunque no ponga en peligro la vida de la persona puede afectar seriamente la funcionalidad del pie. En la actualidad no existe un tratamiento estandarizado para el manejo de esta patología, las técnicas quirúrgicas actuales en especial el curetaje y el autoinjerto óseo resultan muy prometedoras.
Bone tumors are pathologies resulting from modifications in the bone structure and its content, they can present as benign or malignant, primitive or metastatic tumor lesions, depending on various factors: age of presentation, location, growth rate, periosteal reaction and infiltration to neighboring structures. The publications show that small, asymptomatic and small bone cysts do not require treatment, up to 25% are spontaneous resolution after a pathological fracture; while larger cysts with thin bark require some type of intervention. The case of a 17-year-old female patient is presented, who presents for presenting moderate intensity pain in the left heel that intensifies on ambulation, with a time of 2 months of evolution, after a blunt trauma in this region. On physical examination, pain from the pressure digit and active-passive mobilization maneuvers were evidenced on the external lateral aspect at the calcaneus level of the left foot. A simplelateral radiograph of the left calcaneus was performed, showing a 3 by 3 cm circular lytic lesion involving the anteroinferior region of the calcaneus. In conclusion, simple or solitary bone cyst is a benign pathology that, although it does not endanger the person's life, can seriously affect the functionality of the foot. Currently, there is no standardized treatment for the management of this pathology, current surgical techniques, especially curettage and bone autograft are very promising.

INTRODUCCIÓN: El quiste óseo aneurismático es una neoplasia benigna que aparece con mayor frecuencia en la segunda década de vida. Clínicamente se presenta como una masa que produce dolor y deformidad de la extremidad afectada; radiológicamente se caracteriza por lesiones líticas con tabicaciones internas y abombamiento de la cortical. Se presenta un caso donde se realizó un aloinjerto estructural para el tratamiento de esta patología. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de sexo masculino, de 18 años de edad; con historia de 5 meses de evolución de dolor e impotencia funcional de extremidad inferior derecha; al examen físico se evidenció masa de 15 x 6 cm en tobillo derecho. La radiografía simple demostró una lesión lítica de tercio distal de peroné con adelgazamiento e insuflación de la cortical. El examen histopatológico fue positivo para células gigantes de tipo osteoclasto, cambios simplásticos, estroma miofibroblástico y extravasación eritrocitaria; datos compatibles con quiste óseo aneurismático. EVOLUCIÓN: Se realizó la resección en bloque de la masa tumoral del peroné, para la reconstrucción se utilizó un aloinjerto estructural más estabilización con placa de compresión dinámica y tornillo transindesmal; se realizó además una reconstrucción ligamentaria utilizando la técnica de Watson Jones. El paciente tuvo una evolución favorable, a los 16 meses del procedimiento se observó consolidación completa, además de una función articular conservada; no se evidenció recidiva en los 5 años posteriores de control. CONCLUSIÓN: El quiste óseo aneurismático es una patología benigna que siendo tratada en etapas iniciales, conlleva un mejor pronóstico y requiere de la realización de procedimientos quirúrgicos menos complejos. En pacientes con tumores de gran tamaño no es posible la realización de tratamientos convencionales; siendo la resección en bloque más la colocación de aloinjerto y estabilización ligamentaria, una alternativa terapéutica válida que permita preservar la extremidad.(ua)
BACKGROUND: Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign neoplasm that presents more frequently in the second decade of life. Clinically It manifests as a mass that causes pain and deformity of the affected limb; radiologically, it is characterized by lytic lesions with internal septations and bulging of the cortex. A case is presented where a structural allograft was performed for the treatment of this pathology. CASE REPORT: 18 year-old male patient, with 5 month history of pain and functional impotence of right lower extremity; physical examination revealed a 15 x 6 cm mass in right ankle. X-ray showed a lytic lesion in the distal third of the fibula, with thinning an insufflation of bone cortex. The histopathological report was positive for giant cells (osteoclast-like cells), symplastic changes, myofibroblastic stroma and erythrocyte extravasation; data compatible with aneurysmal bone cyst. EVOLUTION: An en-bloc resection of the fibular tumor was performed, for the reconstruction a structural allograft plus stabilization with dynamic compression plate and transindesmal screw was used; a ligament reconstruction was also performed using the Watson Jones technique. The patient had a favorable evolution, at 16 months complete consolidation in addition to a preserved joint function was observed; there was no recurrence in the 5 years after control. CONCLUSION: The aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign condition that if treated in initial stages, has a better prognosis and requires less complex surgical procedures. In patients with large tumors, conventional treatment is not possible; en bloc resection plus allograft placement and ligament stabilization, is a valid therapeutic alternative to save the limb.(au)

Resumen: Introducción: La angiomatosis quística ósea es una enfermedad con solamente 200 casos descritos basados en la proliferación no maligna angiomatosa en tejido óseo y vísceras. Se observa más en la pelvis, los huesos largos y la cintura escapular. La evolución clínica varía de formas autolimitantes a osteólisis agresiva masiva (Gorham-Stout). Su diagnóstico es por exclusión, con datos clínico-radiológicos (imágenes líticas) y resultados histopatológicos no específicos. Caso clínico: Nuestro estudio se basa en el caso clínico de un paciente de 14 años diagnosticado con angiomatosis quística ósea, con afección ósea diseminada, que vino a nuestro centro por el dolor y la impotencia funcional en la cadera derecha, diagnosticando una fractura pertrocantérea. Se le hizo una osteosíntesis con tornillo deslizante de la placa VERSA de cuatro agujeros. Se utilizó un injerto alogénico de hueso esponjoso de la cabeza femoral. La evolución fue satisfactoria con ambulación a plena carga por mes sin requerir medicación analgésica y control de rayos X a los ocho meses, los cuales mostraron signos de completa integración del injerto. La escala analgésica del dolor (EVA) mostró una puntuación de 2/10 por mes. Discusión: Hay controversia con respecto al tratamiento de estas fracturas por la osteosíntesis con el injerto del hueso. Nos enfrentamos a un caso sin criterios clínicos serios, pero con múltiples focos de osteólisis. Se decidió no intervenir profilácticamente la cadera contralateral, ya que es asintomática y hay diferentes patrones de evolución descritos en la literatura y los riesgos en la cirugía
Abstract: Introduction: Bone cystic angiomatosis is a disease with only 200 cases described, based on angiomatous nonmalignant proliferation, in bone tissue and viscera. It focuses on pelvis, long bones and scapular waist. Clinical evolution ranges from self-limiting forms to massive aggressive osteolysis (Gorham-Stout).Its diagnosis is of exclusion, with nonspecific clinical, radiological (lytic images) and histopathological findings. Clinical case: Our study is based on the clinical case of a 14-year-old man diagnosed with bone cystic angiomatosis, with disseminated bone involvement, who came to our center for pain and functional impotence in the right hip, diagnosing a pertrochanteric fracture. It was operated by open reduction and osteosynthesis with four-hole VERSA sliding plate screw. An allogeneic graft of cancellous bone was used from femoral head. The evolution was satisfactory, with ambulation at full load per month without requiring analgesic medication and control X-ray at eight months that showed signs of complete integration of the graft. The analgesic pain scale (visual analogue scale) showed a score of 2/10 per month. Discussion: There is controversy regarding the treatment of these fractures by osteosynthesis with bone graft. We are facing a case without serious clinical criteria, but with multiple foci of osteolysis. It was decided not to intervene prophylactically the contraleteral hip, since it is asymptomatic and there are different patterns of evolution described in the literature and risks in surgery.

Chondroblastoma is a rare benign tumor that produces giant cells and cartilage matrix. The tumor occurs in people between 10 and 25 years with slightly higher incidence in males. The condition occurs in the proximal epiphysis of the tibia and humerus, distal epiphysis of the femur, but its occurrence in the talus is relatively rare, accounting for 4% of the total number of chondroblastoma cases. Chondroblastoma is often misdiagnosed as a primary aneurysmal bone cyst, giant cell tumor, chondromyxoid, and lesion of a secondary aneurysmal bone cyst by fibrous dysplasia. The most commonly used surgical method for chondroblastoma is broad curettage with bone grafting. In general, an aneurysmal bone cyst is associated with a second degree chondroblastoma, which is approximately 20%. Chondroblastoma of the talus and secondary aneurysmal bone cysts can be misdiagnosed as primary aneurysmal bone cysts. This paper reports a case of a young male patient with chondroblastoma of the talus, which was initially misdiagnosed as an aneurysmal bone cyst with involvement of the talo-navicular joint.

@#Aneurysmal bone cysts rather than local aggressive lesions of the bone which may arise in any part of the axial or appendicular skeleton. Although several theories are available in the literature, the pathogenesis is still conflicting. We report an exceptional case of an aneurysmal bone cyst in the distal femur of a female cerebral palsy patient who underwent bilateral distal femoral derotational osteotomy and plate-screw fixation operations when she was 11 years old. Twenty-four months after the operation, radiographs showed a cystic lesion in the distal portion of the right femur around the osteotomy site. The diagnosis of Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) was made and the lesion was treated by curettage with cement application. After 36 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence. This is the first case reported in literature which raises the possibility that an osteotomy could be a cause in the development of an aneurysmal bone cyst.
RESUMEN
@#Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) infrequently occurs within the upper cervical vertebrae. Various therapeutic options have been reported in the literature. We would like to share our experience in managing a case of a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with ABC at the body of axis (C2) vertebra. Serious attention had to be given on the stability of the cervical spine following tumour resection, which can be affected by the mode of treatment chosen. Instability can have a detrimental effect on the cervical spine, in which case may necessitate further surgery. We performed a single-staged intra-lesional curettage via a transoral approach and temporary non-fusion posterior stabilization of C1 lateral mass screw and C2 pedicle screw. The implants were removed after six months once ossification of C2 has taken place to regain full motion of the neck. There was no evidence of recurrence or instability of the cervical spine three years following surgery.
RESUMEN
Objetivo: apresentar um caso clínico de paciente com cisto ósseo solitário em mandíbula e sua evolução após o tratamento de exploração e curetagem cirúrgica por meio de achados radiográficos. Caso clínico: paciente do sexo masculino, 45 anos, compareceu à clínica da Faculdade de Estudos Administrativos Fead. Ao exame clínico, os tecidos se apresentavam dentro dos padrões de normalidade e ao exame radiográfico observou-se área radiolúcida unilocular, limites regulares e bem definidos em região anterior de mandíbula entre ápices dos dentes 33, 32, 31, 41 e 42, sem deslocamento desses. Para confirmação do diagnóstico, além do exame clínico, foi necessário realizar a tomografia de feixe cônico e exploração cirúrgica. Após a exploração cirúrgica foi realizada a curetagem das paredes ósseas e a proservação do caso para acompanhar a sua evolução. Considerações finais: por ser uma lesão de comportamento não agressivo, responde bem a este tipo de tratamento, sendo notável sua melhora durante o período de acompanhamento.(AU)
Objective: To present a clinical case report of a patient with solitary bone cyst of the mandible and its evolution after exploration and surgical curettage treatment through radiographic findings. Case report: A 45-year-old male patient attended the clinic of the School of Administrative Studies - FEAD. The clinical examination showed normal tissues and the radiographic examination showed unilocular radiolucent area and regular and well-defined boundaries in the anterior mandible between the apexes of teeth 33, 32, 31, 41, and 42, without displacement. To confirm the diagnosis, in addition to the clinical examination, cone beam tomography and surgical exploration were required. After the surgical exploration, bone wall curettage and case proservation were performed to monitor the evolution. Final considerations: Considering it is a non-aggressive lesion, it responds well to this type of treatment, with considerable improvement during follow-up.(AU)

Resumen: El quiste óseo aneurismático es una tumoración benigna poco común, de aparición en la infancia generalmente y a nivel de extremidades. El tratamiento más habitual consiste en el curetaje y relleno con injerto. No obstante, localizaciones poco accesibles a la cirugía suponen un reto terapéutico. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 11 años con cojera y dolor en cadera derecha sin antecedente traumático ni infeccioso. En los estudios de imagen con TAC y RM se evidencia una lesión lítica expansiva que ocupa todo el techo del acetábulo y pala ilíaca derecha, sugestiva de un quiste óseo aneurismático presentando fractura acetabular asociada. Se realizó una biopsia que confirmó el diagnóstico. Se trató mediante embolización guiada por angiografía debido al gran volumen y alto riesgo de fractura, después del curetaje y relleno con aloinjerto evolucionó satisfactoriamente y el paciente se encuentra asintomático al año de la intervención.
Abstract: The aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign rare tumor, which usually develops during childhood and it's more often found in limbs. The most accepted treatment consists in curetagge and filling with graft. However, certain locations may be inaccesible for surgery and represent therapeutical challenges. We present the case of an 11 year-old male patient with limping and right hip pain without any traumatic nor infectious record. In the image studies with CT and MRI a lytic and expansive lession was found in the upper part of the right acetabulum and right iliac wing, all of which suggested an aneurysmal bone cyst with an associated acetabular fracture. A biopsy was performed which confirmed the diagnosis. He was treated with a CT-guided embolization and, due to its size, curetagge and allograft filling afterwards. He was asymptomatic after1 year of follow-up.

ABSTRACT Objective: To introduce the intralesional calcitonin and methylprednisolone percutaneous injection method, which results in the promotion of primary aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) healing. Methods: A retrospective cohort study involving 76 patients diagnosed with ABC was performed between 2005 and 2014. Patients treated with calcitonin and methylprednisolone injection and who underwent more than 2 years of follow-up were considered eligible for the study (n=47). The Enneking staging and Capanna classification systems were used during the initial evaluation. Treatment response was assessed by Rastogi radiographic grading based on the degree of healing. X2 and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and odds ratio calculations were used in the statistical analysis with a 5% significance level. Results: The proximal tibia extremity was the most commonly affected site (17.0%). Thirty-three (70.3%) ABC cases were staged as B3 and 28 (59.7%) were classified as type II. The average number of injections performed was 2.8 per patient, with an average reduction of the initial lytic area of 83.7% (p-value=0.00001). Satisfactory results for 91.4% (n=43; p-value=0.00001) were obtained and 5 recurrences occurred. No side effects were observed. Conclusion: Intralesional calcitonin and methylprednisolone percutaneous injection is a minimally invasive, effective, and safe method for promoting primary ABC healing. Level of evidence IV, Type of study: case series.
RESUMO Objetivo: Apresentar o método de injeção intralesional percutânea de calcitonina e metilprednisolona para promover a ossificação do cisto ósseo aneurismático (COA). Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo de coorte envolvendo 76 pacientes com diagnóstico de COA entre 2005 e 2014. Os pacientes tratados com injeção de calcitonina e metilprednisolona e acompanhados durante mais de dois anos foram considerados elegíveis para o estudo (n = 47). Foram utilizados o sistema de estadiamento de Enneking e a classificação de Capanna durante a avaliação inicial. A resposta ao tratamento foi avaliada pela classificação radiográfica Rastogi, com base no grau de cicatrização. Os testes X2, Wilcoxon e o cálculo da razão de chances foram utilizados na análise estatística com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A extremidade proximal da tíbia foi o local mais frequente (17,0%). Trinta e três (70,3%) COA eram B3 e 28 (59,7%) do tipo II. O número médio de injeções aplicadas foi de 2,8 por paciente, com redução média da área lítica inicial de 83,7% (p = 0,00001). Resultados satisfatórios para 91,4% (n = 43; p = 0,00001) dos pacientes e houve cinco recidivas. Nenhum efeito colateral foi observado. Conclusão: A injeção intralesional percutânea de calcitonina e metilprednisolona é um método minimamente invasivo, eficaz e seguro para promover a ossificação do COA. Nível de evidência IV, Tipo de estudo: série de casos.
