Abstract
Giant cell tumor (GCT), aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC), and simple bone cyst (SBC) represent relatively common tumors and tumorlike conditions to affect bone. This article describes the clinical presentation of these lesions, as well as the characteristic radiologic and pathologic findings of each. In addition, differential diagnoses, disease course, and various treatment options are discussed.
