A case of aneurysmal bone cyst in father and son

Eur J Radiol. 1998 Nov;29(1):28-30. doi: 10.1016/s0720-048x(98)00016-3.

Abstract

The authors report a familial case of primary aneurysmal bone cyst in father and son, affecting both at the same location at nearly the same age. This fact again raises the speculation of a genetic link as another factor in the pathogenesis of aneurysmal bone cyst.
