An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a non-neoplastic, rapidly expanding pathologic bone lesion that mostly affects the mandible and is most commonly found in the first to third decade of life. The most of the ABC cases are locally aggressive osteolytic lesion with a high recurrence rate. As a result, we present a swelling with pus discharge at the maxillary alveolus in a 68-year-old female who was diagnosed with ABC after a computed tomography scan and histological analysis. The conservative surgical excision was performed without considerable bleeding, and no recurrence was observed even after a five-year follow-up period.

Aneurysmal bone cysts are locally invasive, benign lesions usually found in the spine or metaphysis of long bones. They can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary to other bone pathologies. Primary aneurysmal bone cyst usually occurs in the first two decades of life.

A boy in middle childhood presented with complaints of swelling and pain in his right forearm for 4 months. He had previously undergone left above-elbow amputation due to a suspected malignant tumour in that arm. Radiological imaging revealed a locally aggressive bone tumour of the right distal radius.

Introduction: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, locally destructive, blood-filled reactive lesions of the bone most commonly presenting as pain or mass effect. Most are frequently located in the proximal humerus, distal femur, proximal tibia, spine, uncommonly the sacrum, and rarely the sacroiliac (SI) joint. We present a rare case of ABC in the SI joint and its recurrence treated with percutaneous intralesional doxycycline ablation and the corresponding outcome.

Background: Only 2% to 6% aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) involve the cranial region, and even fewer show sphenoid and orbital involvement. The spheno-orbital ABC is prone to misdiagnosis and can result in intraoperative bleeding and residual lesions. The study was to summarize the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of patients with spheno-orbital ABC in children.
