Entire Body System
- Pain
The pacient may present local pain, the appearance of local deformation due to a tumor mass or occurrence of pathological fractures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
To help differentiate bone pain from joint pain, the joint can be injected, usually with a long-lasting anesthetic (eg, bupivacaine ); if pain persists, it may be caused by the bone lesion. [merckmanuals.com]
- Swelling
In addition, 21 years old male patient came with a complaint of swelling with mild, continuous pain in the lower left jaw region. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Most common to children and adolescents, these spinal tumors cause pain and swelling, and can be large and vascular (numerous blood vessels). [cedars-sinai.edu]
Both types can cause pain and swelling and, in rare cases, fractures in the involved bone. Aneurysmal bone cysts do not generally go away on their own. [childrenshospital.org]
See a GP if you get a lump, pain or swelling in the bone after treatment This could mean the cyst has come back or you've developed an infection from surgery. [nhs.uk]
- Surgical Procedure
ABC was localised in the posterior right region of the mandible in an 11-year-old boy, and removed by a surgical procedure involving a small access osteotomy of the mandibular ramus with removal of the cortical bone in order to enucleate the whole lesion [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The success rate following open procedures has ranged from 55% to 65%[13]. The remaining 35% to 45% of patients have had recurrence of the cyst, requiring additional open surgical procedures. [jpss.eu]
The surgical procedure consisted of curettage with bone replacement and plugging. The postoperative course was uneventful with almost complete radiographic healing (Figure 7). [panafrican-med-journal.com]
Surgical safety Though surgery for tumors is highly effective, we understand that any surgery can be a stressful experience for children and families. [chop.edu]

- Diplopia
Depending on its location, other signs/symptoms can be found like headache, diplopia, loss of vision, proptosis, tooth mobility, hearing loss, etc. The Radiological features include: Cystic bone expansion. [scielo.isciii.es]

- Short Arm
The hand was immobilized in a short arm cast for 3 weeks after the patient received 3 weeks of physiotherapy. Kirschner wires were removed 6 weeks postoperatively. [doi.org]
Genetics The most notable genetic feature is the characteristic rearrangement of the chromosome 17 short arm. [epathologies.com]

Differentiating Aneurysmal Bone Cyst from Other Diseases Aneurysmal bone cyst must be differentiated from following bone disorders: Epidemiology and Demographics ABC accounts for 1% to 2% of all primary bone tumors. [13] The incidence of aneurysmal bone [wikidoc.org]
- Hip Pain
A 7 year-old patient who presented with 3 months of right hip pain and limping. The initial radiograph showed a discrete periostic reaction and acetabulum effacement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
On surgical exploration of her right mandibular lesion an empty cavity was found suggestive of traumatic bone cyst. The lesion healed completely after 1 year without loss of vitality of any teeth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This lesion is found in other skeletal bones as well and there is a suggestion of trauma commonly associated with these lesions. [homesteadschools.com]
- Aggressive Behavior
Glandular odontogenic cyst is a rare developmental odontogenic cysts of the jaws having an aggressive behavior. The most common site of occurrence is the anterior mandible, and it is widely seen in middle-aged people. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Almost all ABCs of the spine involve the posterior elements, and a high incidence of neurologic symptoms is observed, as well as more local aggressive behavior. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis: - DF exhibits locally aggressive behavior without capacity to metastasize. - Recurrence following curretage and resection are 72% and 17% respectively. - Local relapse has been reported as late as eight years following primary surgery. [pedorthpath.com]
Neurologic
- Headache
CASE DESCRIPTION: An 18-year-old female patient presented with headaches and progressive neck pain. Imaging revealed a large cystic lesion involving the C1 lamina and right lateral mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Depending on its location, other signs/symptoms can be found like headache, diplopia, loss of vision, proptosis, tooth mobility, hearing loss, etc. The Radiological features include: Cystic bone expansion. [scielo.isciii.es]
[…] affected area may be warm to the touch If an aneurysmal bone cyst develops inside the spine, it can disrupt the normal working of the nervous system and cause additional symptoms, such as: muscle weakness a shooting pain in the legs or arms persistent headaches [your.md]
Workup
It is therefore an integral part of the diagnostic workup when dealing with (myo)fibroblastic lesions of soft tissue and bone. Two cases of myositis ossificans with USP6 rearrangement were published so far. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Blood chemistry and metabolic workup are benign. [doi.org]
Treatment
En-block resection and reconstruction with strut grafting are the most common treatments and procedures that prevent recurrences of this type of cyst.Traumatic Bone Cyst The traumatic bone cyst treatment consists of surgical exploration, curettage of [en.wikipedia.org]
Depending on the choice of treatment, a positive response occurs in 20 to 80 % of cases. These rates are unacceptable, particularly considering they concern the treatment of benign lesions affecting children. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
It is mandatory to distinguish ABC from UBC, as prognosis and treatment are different. UBCs resolve spontaneously between adolescence and adulthood; the main concern is the risk of pathologic fracture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
BACKGROUND: Jaw pseudocysts are benign osseous lesions of unclear etiology. Among these, the simple bone cyst (SBC) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) are intriguing bone pathologies still rarely studied together. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These results may suggest that venous obstruction of the lesions play an important role in the etiology of multiple simple cysts, as shown in typical bone cysts. [link.springer.com]
Epidemiology

Pathophysiology
This new hypothesis for SBC formation in non-load-bearing region for knee, which cannot be explained by the existing theories, will provide us a new angle to understand the pathomechanism and pathophysiology of subchondral bone disturbance in osteoarthritis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a multicystic and expansile bone tumor of uncertain line of differentiation. [mayomedicallaboratories.com]
The true pathophysiology of ABCs is unknown. [11] Different theories about several vascular malformations exist; these include arteriovenous fistulas and venous blockage. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The true etiology and pathophysiology remain a mystery, but the mainstay of treatment has been intralesional curettage. Recurrence is not uncommon. [dx.doi.org]
