==Aneurysmal bone cyst==
==Aneurysmal bone cyst==
*Abbreviated ''ABC''.
{{Main|Aneurysmal bone cyst}}
:''Also see [[giant cell reparative granuloma]]'' ([[AKA]] ''solid aneurysmal bone cyst'').
 
===General===
Features:<ref name=emed_abc>URL: [http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1254784-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1254784-overview]. Accessed on: 4 February 2011.</ref>
*Benign.
**May grow rapidly.
*Osteolysis -> cystic space -> filled with blood.
*Relatively common; in children second only to [[osteosarcoma]].<ref name=pmid18157043>{{cite journal |author=van den Berg H, Kroon HM, Slaar A, Hogendoorn P |title=Incidence of biopsy-proven bone tumors in children: a report based on the Dutch pathology registration "PALGA" |journal=J Pediatr Orthop |volume=28 |issue=1 |pages=29–35 |year=2008 |pmid=18157043 |doi=10.1097/BPO.0b013e3181558cb5 |url=}}</ref>

*Air-fluid levels (radiology).
*Usually metaphysis of long bones, but uncommonly the femur.
*May have an "aggressive" appearance, i.e. erode bone.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=emed_abc/>
*Bony trabeculae ''or'' osteoid tissue.
*Osteoclast [[giant cell]]s.
**Multi-nucleated giant-cells with round randomly arranged nuclei.
*Benign spindle cells (fibroblasts) - surround bone/adjacent to the giant cells - '''important'''.
*Blood +/- surrounded by giant cells.
 
DDx:
*[[Giant cell tumour of bone]] - the nuclei of the cells surrounding the giant cells are similar to those in the giant cells (round nuclei).
*[[Telangiectatic osteosarcoma]].
*Other [[giant cell lesions]].
