Aneurysmal bone cyst is a very common benign pathology of bone.
- Abbreviated ABC.
- Also see giant cell reparative granuloma (AKA solid aneurysmal bone cyst).
General
Features:[1]
- Benign.
- May grow rapidly.
- Osteolysis -> cystic space -> filled with blood.
- Relatively common; in children second only to osteosarcoma.[2]
Gross/radiologic
Features:[3]
- Air-fluid levels (radiology).
- Usually metaphysis of long bones, but uncommonly the femur.
- May have an "aggressive" appearance, i.e. erode bone.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Bony trabeculae or osteoid tissue.
- Osteoclast giant cells.
- Multi-nucleated giant-cells with round randomly arranged nuclei.
- Benign spindle cells (fibroblasts) - surround bone/adjacent to the giant cells - important.
- Blood +/- surrounded by giant cells.
DDx:
- Giant cell tumour of bone - the nuclei of the cells surrounding the giant cells are similar to those in the giant cells (round nuclei).
- Telangiectatic osteosarcoma.
- Other giant cell lesions.
