Solid Aneurismal Bone Cyst of Proximal Tibia with Resemblance Telangiectatic Osteosarcoma - A Case Report

Abstract

Case: We report the case of an 11 year-old boy presented 1 year ago with a swelling over the right proximal tibia with radiographic features of osteolytic lesion. MRI reported as aneursymal bone cyst with the less likely possibility of telangiectatic osteosarcoma to be considered. He underwent extended curettage, & bone grafting. Histopathological examination suggested a Solid-ABC with extensive new bone formation & features of malignant tumours.
Conclusion: Solid-ABC which is often deceptive to the treating clinician. Comprehensive correlation of findings between the clinician, radiologist & pathologist is mandatory to make the accurate diagnosis and to provide the optimum treatment.
