Lumbar Spine Aneurysmal Bone Cyst a Rare Entity.
Pak J Neuro Surg Jan ;25(1):108-14.

An Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) is a benign, locally aggressive, vascular, and expansile bony tumor of idiopathic etiology containing multiple thin-walled blood-filled channels, mostly diagnosed in pediatric and adolescent age groups. These lesions can cause local pain, pathological fractures, spinal deformity, and neurological deficits. The treatment of choice for ABC is highly debatable according to the literature. The treatment choices are simple curettage and grafting, complete surgical resection with or without prior selective arterial embolization, radiotherapy, or a combination of these procedures according to the case. Each modality is having different outcomes, technical requirements, and complications. We are reporting a case of Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the lumbar spine in a young patient treated by surgery.
