Introduction: An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a locally aggressive primary bone neoplasm. ABC of the clavicle is rare with only a few reported cases in the literature.
Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with an ABC at the right acromial end of the clavicle. The patient underwent intralesional curettage and allogenic bone grafting. Moreover, the patient's arm was placed in a sling for 2 weeks postoperatively. The patient had a satisfactory outcome after 11 years, with excellent Toronto Extremity Salvage, Quick-Dash, and Musculoskeletal Tumor Society scores.
Discussion: Clavicular ABCs are uncommon. Early diagnosis helps to prevent pathological fractures. Adjuvant therapies might help decrease recurrence.
Conclusion: ABC should be considered an important differential diagnosis for clavicular swelling and masses. The best results can be achieved using curettage and void-filled bone grafts.

Ulnar artery aneurysms are extremely rare and are mainly associated with hypothenar hammer syndrome, an ischemic disorder of the hand resulting from mechanical and repetitive trauma to the hypothenar region. The ulnar artery is hit against the hook of the hamate bone, causing damage to the vessel wall and leading to occlusion or formation of an aneurysm. We describe the case of a truck driver who underwent resection of an ulnar artery aneurysm in the right hand and reconstruction using end-to-end anastomosis with no complications or recurrence.

The coexistence of fibrous dysplasia and aneurysmal bone cyst in the craniofacial region is extremely rare. This article presents a unique case involving the skull base, diagnosed using computed tomography and magnetic resonance. Imaging revealed a characteristic expansile mass with a ground-glass appearance alongside cystic areas exhibiting fluid-fluid levels, indicative of fibrous dysplasia and aneurysmal bone cyst.

Background: Benign bone lesions are a common incidental finding in athletes during workup for musculoskeletal complaints, and athletes are frequently advised to halt participation in contact sports. There are no current guidelines to assist clinicians in referring patients with these lesions to a subspecialist or in advising athletes on the safety of returning to sport.
Purpose: To assist sports medicine physicians in appropriate referral for patients with benign bone lesions through presentation of a literature review and the case of an adolescent athlete with a benign bone lesion in a location with a significant fracture risk.
