Jennifer Jen-Wei Wan MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

The purpose of this exhibit is to: 1.) Review the imaging of aneurysmal bone cysts 2.) Discuss pitfalls in diagnosis including common mimic lesions 3.) Demonstrate unusual presentations including aneurysmal bone cysts presenting outside of long bones, malignant transformation of primary aneurysmal bone cysts and metastasis 4.) Review treatment options  

1.) Overview of aneurysmal bone cysts including epidemiology, pathogenesis, and discussion of primary and secondary lesions. 2.) Review of multi-modality imaging findings including plain radiograph, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear bone scintigraphy. 3.) Discussion of pitfalls in diagnosis including differentiation from other tumors exhibiting fluid-fluid levels such as telangiectatic osteosarcoma and giant cell tumor of the bone. 4.) Case-based presentation of unusual manifestations of aneurysmal bone cyst including those lesions outside of long bones, malignant transformation and metastasis. 5.) Review of treatment options including surgical management and radiation therapy.
