Abstract

Three cases of aneurysmal bone cyst of the skull are reported. The localization in the base of the skull (two cases) is extremely rare and simulates a space-occupying intracerebral lesion. The clinical and microscopic findings, and their significance for the differential diagnosis from malignant brain tumors, are described.

    ABC makes up 1–2% of all primary bone tumors, and around 15–20% of spine tumors [4,5]. A slightly higher number of female patients are affected than male ones, and it is most commonly observed among patients younger than 20 years of age [6,7]. The frequent sites affected are the metaphysis of the long bones.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Aneurysmal bone cysts of the head and neck are relatively rare entities. ABCs most commonly occur in patients less than 20 years old and typically present as a painless mass [1]. However a variety of presenting symptoms are possible, such as proptosis, pain and nasal obstruction, depending on the location of these expansile and locally destructive lesions.
