An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign bone lesion. It has the potential to grow within the bone, causing thinning of the bone tissue, and carries a high risk of recurrence. Like most neoplasms, the etiology and pathogenesis of aneurysmal bone cysts are not fully understood.
It is generally observed in individuals aged 5-15 years and is most commonly localized in the hip, shoulder, and knee regions of the body. It is more frequently encountered in male children. This observation supports the hypothesis that the development of aneurysmal bone cysts might be associated with trauma, given male children's more active lifestyles and thus higher likelihood of encountering potential traumatic factors.
