Interest of Biphosphanates in the treatment of aneurysmal bone cyst : About one Observation.

Abstract

Introduction : The aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is an aggressive and destructive but benign lesion of long bones, spine or pelvis, mainly affecting children and young adults. However, it is a rare tumour. Methods : We report a case of a 10 ‑ year ‑ old boy, with an aneurysmal bone cyst of the upper extremity of the humerus, which responded well to the surgical treatment followed by a biphosphonate rehab that allowed consolidation. Results : Evolution was marked by bone remodeling with consolidation of fracture. Through our work, we want to focus on this orthopaedic affection by comparing our results with those of Global Literature. Conclusion : The aneurysmal bone cyst is an impressive aspect lesion at the imagerie, but the prognosis of which is good. Con irmation of the diagnosis is, however, Histological. Treatment with Biphosphanate helps to avoid recurrences and to bring bone remodeling
