    Solid aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) present diverse radiological features, sometimes mimicking aggressive bone tumors. Identifying an expanded cortical rim on imaging aids in diagnosing these challenging bone lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Orthopedic Oncology
    • Bone Pathology

    Background:

    • Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are benign bone lesions.
    • Solid ABCs represent a subtype with potentially aggressive radiological features.
    • Distinguishing solid ABC from other bone pathologies can be challenging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and characterize the radiological features of solid aneurysmal bone cysts.
    • To identify imaging findings that aid in the diagnosis of solid ABC.
    • To differentiate solid ABC from malignant bone tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of radiological imaging (conventional and computed tomography) of nine solid aneurysmal bone cysts.
    • Analysis of lesion characteristics including zone of transition, cortical involvement, and soft tissue extension.

    Main Results:

    • Solid ABCs exhibit a spectrum of appearances, from typical ABC-like lesions to aggressive osteolytic lesions.
    • Over half of the reviewed cases showed cortical destruction and soft tissue extension.
    • Lesions were predominantly located in the axial skeleton.
    • An expanded partial cortical rim was a suggestive finding.

    Conclusions:

    • Solid aneurysmal bone cysts can present with varied and sometimes aggressive radiological features.
    • Imaging findings, particularly an expanded cortical rim, can aid in diagnosis.
    • Differential diagnosis with giant cell tumors and malignancies is crucial.
