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 of rib continue to interest the clinicians because of their rarity. We experienced a case of aneurysmal bone cyst of Rt 10th rib, which was occupying the Rt pleural cavity as a huge mass. This case was treated surgically with good result. In addition, general concept of aneurysmal bone cyst with brief review of literatures was disclosed here.

We report a rare case of fibrous dysplasia with the development of a secondary aneurysmal bone cyst presenting as solitary tumor of calvarium. Although fibrous dysplasia with aneurysmal bone cyst is rare, it should be taken into account in differential diagnosis of the osteolytic solitary skull lesion.

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign lesion of bone consisting of a septated, cystic cavity filled with non-endothelium-lined, blood-filled spaces. As it grows, expanding and destroying the affected part of the bone by direct compression, the lesion characteristically produces a prominent bulging of the affected bone, which eventually erodes the overlying cortex. Patients rarely complain of pain unless the cyst affects adjacent nerves or its expasion is great enough to impinge on the surrounding joints and soft tissue. Teeth adjacent to the cyst may be displaced, but usually remain vital. Development of the lesion in the craniofacial region is rare, and the mandible is more often affected than the maxilla. Complete surgical excision is used to treat aneurysmal bone cyst, with either curettage or composite resection. This is a case report of 49 years old female with aneurysmal bone cyst treated with surgical excision & DFDB graft.

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign, highly vascular bony lesion of unknown origin that may present difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problems. It is usually located on long bones, but rarely on the spine. The lesion is usually treated successfully by curettage and bone grafting when it involves bones of the extremities, but there are special considerations in the management of the lesion when located on the spine. We report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst in on the 8th thoracic spine treated with surgical treatment.

The authors describe a case of aneurysmal bone cyst of a thoracic vertebra. A 34-year-old woman presented with posterior neck and upper back pain. Radiological examination demonstrated an aneurysmal bone cyst involving the posterior elements of the second thoracic vertebra. The spinal cord was compressed severely also. Satisfactory results were obtained after complete resection of the lesion.

늑골에 발생하는 동맥류성 골낭종은 희귀한 질환으로 섬유성 이형성증이나 거대세포종과 감별을 요하는 질환이나 장골의 골간단이나 안면골에도 발생할 수 있다. 환자는 14세 남자 환자로 특이 증상없이 학교신체검사에서 발견된 환자로 핵자기공명촬영상 우측 제 4늑골에 동맥류성 골낭종이 발견되어 광범위 절제술후 현재 16개월까지 재발없이 경과 관찰 중이다.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is benign vascular lesion destructing the cortical bone by the expansion of the vascular channel in the diploic space that usually involve long bone and spine. Orbital ABC is rare and the clinical symptoms deteriorate rapidly after initial slow-progression period for a few months. A 12-year-old female patient visited ophthalmologist due to proptosis and upward gaze limitation of the right eye, and orbital mass was noted in the upper part of right eye on orbital MRI. Five months later, exophthalmos was worsened rapidly with other features of ophthalmoplegia. Orbital mass was enlarged on MRI with intracranial extension. Surgery was done through frontal craniotomy and intracranial portion of the tumor was removed. Destructed orbital roof and mass in the orbit was also removed, and surrounding bone which was suspected to have lesion was resected as much as possible. Histopathological diagnosis was aneurysmal bone cyst. Postoperative course was satisfactory and the patient's eye symptoms improved. Authors report a rare case of orbital ABC with review of the literature. Exact diagnosis by imaging studies is important and it is recommended to perform surgical resection before rapid-progressing period and to resect the mass completely to prevent recurrence.

Aneurysmal bone cysts are uncommon bony lesions of the spine. Approximately 3-20% of the aneurysmal bone cysts occur in the spine, predominantly in the lumbar region, but they may occur at the any level of the spine. These lesions commonly arise from the neural arch and occasionally invade the pedicle and the vertebral body. The clinical diagnosis of a spinal lesion can be very difficult in the early stages of the disease because specific symptoms and signs are usually absent or only amount to back pain. However, depending on the level of involvement and the extent of neurological compression, a wide variety of neurological symptoms and signs may appear, ranging from mild radicular symptoms to complete paraplegia or tetraplegia. Available treatment options include complete excision or curettage of the lesion with bone graft, but where excision cannot be achieved, low dose radiation or arterial embolization may be used. We report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst in the pedicle of the T10 spine with nonstructural scoliosis of $40^{\circ}$ Cobb's angle which was treated successfully with only curettage of the lesion.

Here represents a case of aneurysmal bone cyst which is very rare non neoplastic bone tumor especially in rib. The aneurysmal bone cyst usually arises from long bones of the upper and lower extemities and tt-e spine, which together account for 60 to 70 per cent of cases. In this case the tumor is found in right ninth rib on routine chest X-ray. It is resected successfully and the result is excellent.
