Summary
Irradiation of aneurysmal bone cysts may lead to malignant transformation. Electron microscopy revealed stromal cells capable of producing osteoid, suggesting a link to osteosarcoma development after treatment.
Area of Science:
- Bone pathology
- Electron microscopy
- Oncology
Background:
- Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, expansile bone lesions.
- The cellular composition and potential for malignant transformation of ABCs require further investigation.
