Folia Med (Plovdiv). 2024 Jun 30;66(3):402-408. doi: 10.3897/folmed.66.e121395.

Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign neoplastic lesions that are extensively vascularized and can occasionally exhibit destructive and expanding activity. They typically affect young people, with a small predilection toward females, and most frequently arise during the second decade of life. Aneurysmal bone cysts account for about 1% of all bone tumors and usually develop in long tubular bones, with the spine being much less commonly affected.

Keywords: aneurysmal bone cyst operative treatment results.
