Review Case Reports

Aggressive Giant Extraskeletal Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Thigh: Overcoming Challenges with a Multidisciplinary Approach.

Aneurysmal bone cysts are vascular benign fibroblastic lesions usually found in bone that are locally destructive, with a greater incidence in the first and second decades of life. Patients usually undergo curettage or, less frequently, surgical resection, which may lead to growth disturbances and deformities in cases of large or complex lesions. Minimally invasive techniques such as sclerotherapy and endovascular embolization have been developed as an alternative or complement to surgery, with promising results. The authors present a rare case of an extraskeletal aneurysmal bone cyst successfully treated with minimally invasive techniques followed by surgical resection and provide a literature review of the current treatment options.
