Hand's aneurysmal bone cyst: A rare localization. Case report and systematic literature review

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign, rare bony tumours frequently observed among children and young adults principally located in the long bones, pelvis, and spine and rarely in other anatomical district such as the hand. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with an aneurysmal bone cyst, in active stage, involving the still-open epiphysis of the fourth metacarpal of the right hand, which was in a first time treated by curettage, and 3 months later, occurring a recurrence, by a radically excision of the bone and reconstruction with a graft from the iliac crest. At 10-year follow-up the patient had good cosmetic results and a functioning hand. We also performed a systematic Literature review in order to retrieve the key information regarding: the diagnosis, the clinical features and the treatment.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of the lunate: case report

Aneurysmal bone cysts rarely affect the carpus. We present a case of aneurysmal bone cyst affecting the lunate. Curettage and bone grafting of the lesion was successful, with no recurrence after 2 years of follow-up.

Solid variant of aneurysmal bone cyst of the hamate

Solid variant of aneurysmal bone cyst is a variant of aneurysmal bone cyst in which the predominant histology is that of the solid material of a cystic aneurysmal bone cyst. In this article, we present a patient with solid variant of aneurysmal bone cyst of the hamate and discuss the differential diagnosis and current treatment for this lesion.

Benign bony and soft tissue tumors of the hand

It is important to be familiar with the wide variety of benign tumors that may present in everyday hand surgery practice. The treatment of many of these tumors in the hand is based on studies with small numbers of patients or the treatment of similar lesions elsewhere in the body. The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent literature relevant to benign bony and soft tissue tumors in the hand.

Chondroma in a sesamoid bone of the thumb: case report

Sesamoid tumors of the hand are uncommon. We report a 50-year-old man presenting with a right thumb sesamoid chondroma. Surgical excision was successfully performed. At 12-month follow-up, the thumb function is normal, and there is no evidence of other lesions or recurrence.
