The treatment of choice was surgical: simple curettage, curettage and bone grafting, simple resection in expendable bones. Selective embolization was used in difficult or hazardous sites. The recurrence rate was 21% for the cases treated until 1976 and 8.9% for those treated from 1976 to 2010. A literature review about other methods of treatment is presented. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archivio di Ortopedia e Reumatologia Springer Journals

The aim of this study is the review of our data obtained from 1960 to 2010 in the Oncological Orthopaedics Unit of G. Pini Institute, evaluating appearance, anatomic site, complications, recurrences and different kinds of treatment of 126 paediatric patients affected by aneurysmal bone cyst. All cases were controlled and confirmed by clinical, histologic and radiographic examination. The average age was 11.8 years. Biopsy was made in every case. The treatment of choice was surgical: simple curettage, curettage and bone grafting, simple resection in expendable bones. Selective embolization was used in difficult or hazardous sites. The recurrence rate was 21% for the cases treated until 1976 and 8.9% for those treated from 1976 to 2010. A literature review about other methods of treatment is presented.
