Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Cuboid. Case Report and Review of the Literature

Keywords: Aneurysmal bone cyst

Abstract

A rare clinical case of an aneurysmal bone cyst located at the level of the cuboid in a 13-year-old boy is presented. The diagnosis was reached through clinical evaluation, imaging studies (radiograph-MRI), and a pathological anatomy analysis. Its treatment consisted of thorough intralesional curettage, high speed burring, electrocautery, and filling with lyophilized bone allograft with cortical/cancellous chips. Despite the late diagnosis, we would like to highlight the favorable clinical evolution of the patient, with ad integrum remission of the symptoms and return to his sport activities, without elements of local recurrence.
