Abstract: | Abstract Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare tumour, representing
2.5% of all bone tumours and 7% of benign
tumours. Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is also an uncommon
pathology, usually associated with a secondary vascular
lesion consisting of an arteriovenous malformation. In
this article, we relate a case report of a young female with
a rare combination of FD with aneurysmal bone cyst presenting
as a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Despite the
possibility of clinical treatment of these lesions, this report
demonstrates that symptomatic lesions may be successfully
managed by surgical resection. The authors’ opinion is
that this treatment should be individualised depending on
particularities of each case, such as localisation of the
lesion, biopsy results and image exams features. We also
present a critical literature review of diagnostic methods
and therapeutical options for both ABC and FD, with
emphasis on controversial topics surrounding these issues. |
