Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of Clavicle in a Six-Year-Old Male Child
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Research and Innovation - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABCs) is a cystic expansile lesion which is usually found in solitary locations in the metaphysis of long bones. The most common locations of ABC are long bones of lower limbs. There is little knowledge about the presence of this tumor in Clavicle. Here we present a case of a six year old male child who presented with complaint of swelling in left shoulder for four months. There was a dilemma in the diagnosis of the swelling due to its unusual presentation and appearance. The Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology was also inconclusive. The diagnosis of ABC was made only by excision biopsy. The Clavicle regenerated to nearly normal anatomy at 15 weeks follow up period. The patient is asymptomatic now and is able to perform all daily activities without any restrictions. The uniqueness of this case lies in the fact that this is the first case where ABC has been reported in Clavicular region in young Asian male of less than 10 years age.
