Discal cysts (also known as a disk cyst or disc cyst) are uncommon lesions of the spine, representing an extrathecal cyst which communicates with the adjacent intervertebral disc through an annular fissure. 5). The cartilaginous layer is related to the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus and has an important role in intervertebral disc nutrition 1. The bone scan showed a cold spot at the site of the lesion. Physical examination and laboratory tests were unremarkable with no neurologic deficit. Diehn FE, Maus TP, Morris JM et-al. The sensitivity to specify a vertebral lesion on an X-ray is difficult as well. Aegerter and Kirkpatrick (11) proposed that the cause of the simple bone cysts is post-traumatic and posthemorrhagic, except the ones in the long bones. Differential Diagnosis in Orthopaedic Oncology. Time-spatial labeling inversion pulse magnetic resonance imaging of cystic lesions of the spinal cord. Spine Instability Neoplastic Score can be used to evaluate spine instability [28, 29]. Haaga, John R. 1945-. Diagnostic Neuroradiology. Disc cysts have been most commonly reported at the L4/5 level 1. Difficult to detect, but sometimes gas lucencies are seen within the vertebral bodies. Dawson et al (3) were the first investigators to describe a simple bone cyst developing in cervical vertebrae, and it was located in the C4 vertebra. (2009) ISBN:1604062266. The patient underwent surgery and excisional biopsy through the posterior approach. When aneurysmal bone cysts are found in vertebrae, they typically occur in the posterior elements, including the transverse process, spinous process, lamina, and neural arches.

The patient reports progressive thoracic pain, loss of strength at the T4 sensory level, gradual deterioration of neurological status with lower limb paralysis, and loss of sphincter control. 8. There have been 21 cases of SBCs in English literature, and only 8 cases have been reported in the vertebral body. According to the radiologic findings, the lesion was identified as a simple bone cyst, and the diagnosis was verified by surgical and histopathologic examinations. Although there is an overlap in appearances, characteristic imaging features can aid in the distinction between these 2 types of compression fractures.

Unicameral bone cysts were initially described by the German pathologist Rudolf Virchow in 1891 8,9. Malignant transformation has been only observed after irradiation 3. MR imaging shows an expansile mass involving the T3 left-sided posterior arch and vertebral body, destroying the lamina and pedicle with epidural extension. A, Chondroid metaplastic foci in the connective tissue surrounding the lesion (hematoxylin-eosin stain 100). A soft tissue mass is often present. Search Main Page; Pub Med; Search Feeback These tumors are associated with genetic alterations that cause activation of the USP6 gene located at 17p13. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us\u0026email="}, Sciacca F, Bell D, Thurston M, Vertebral body endplate. They rarely extend into the nearby ribs or adjacent vertebrae. As bone growth progresses the cyst loses its connection to the physis migrating into the diaphysis and subsequently healing. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. (2019) BioMed Research International. Haithcock JA, Layton KF, Opatowsky MJ. In the case of our patient, the lesion did not cause any such fracture in the bone.

They are typically intramedullary and active cysts are found in the metaphysis of long bones, abutting the growth plate 1. A: Clinical presentation of spine aneurysmal bone cysts varies depending on the tumor location and involvement of the spinal cord and nerve roots. We do not capture any email address. Note the lack of blood degradation products. Two cases include a 24 year-old male and 26 year-old male with vertebral body lesion of T12 and L5 vertebrae,retrospectively. Usually, diagnosis of SBC disease is based on pathologic confirmation due to its rarity and non-specific clinical presentation. Abbreviations used: ABC = Aneurysmal bone cyst CMF = Chondromyxoid fibroma EG = Eosinophilic Granuloma Although they have been described in most bones, the most common locations are 3-5: typically eccentrically located in the metaphysis, especially femur, proximal tibia and fibula, and humerus, especially posterior elements of the spine with extension into the vertebral body in 40% of cases 5, short bones of hands and feet: more often with a central location, craniofacial: jaw, basisphenoid, and paranasal sinuses, epiphysis, epiphyseal equivalent,or apophysis: rare but important. Epidemiology The vast majority of discal cysts, as rare as they are, have been reported in males (M:F 9:1), typically of Asian ethnicity 1,2. MR images show a multiloculated mass of heterogeneous signal intensity that usually has blood products within (7). Vertebral pneumatocysts: uncommon lesions with pathognomonic imaging characteristics. Pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of SBC and the patient received no further treatment (Fig. Coskun B, Akpek S, Dogulu F, Uluoglu O, Eken G. Simple Bone Cyst in Spinous Process of the C4 Vertebra. Both cases were managed with surgery, the cavity was filled with bone graft and posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation with pedicle screws, and rods were carried out. Unicameral bone cyst. Imaging examinations of 5 patients with pathologically confirmed spinal ABC were analysed and arterial angiography and embolization were performed prior to surgery. Nayman A, Guler I, Erdogan H, Koplay M. Funayama T, Gasbarrini A, Ghermandi R, Girolami M, Boriani S. Boude AB, Vsquez LG, Alvarado-Gomez F, Bedoya MC, Rodrguez-Mnera A, MoralesSaenz LC. the sacroiliac joint. They commonly affect the long bones in children and adolescents [1]. Emergency Medicine, Radiology 77 Providers. (2015) Folia morphologica. The pathology report was consistent with SBC. Radiographic evaluation of vertebral body lesions has three goals: (1) to identify lesions, (2) characterize lesions and generate a differential diagnosis, and (3) assess for associated complications (in particular cord compression) and treatment response. Detection of associated intradiscal gas and communication between the vertebral and intradiscal gas can be demonstrated. The current study aimed to investigate the imaging manifestations of vertebral aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC), and examine the clinical value of interventional embolization. Percutaneous treatment with fibrosing agents has also been performed, either in isolation or as a precursor to surgical excision 3,11,12. However in patients older than 40 years, while dealing with posterior element lesions, metastasis must always be kept in mind. The physical exam was unremarkable, and no deformities nor neurologic alterations were noted. Vertebral body mass. Depending on the type of surgery. Solid variant ABC of long tubular bones: A diagnostic conundrum for the radiologist. Differential diagnosis of vertebral lesions is very wide. A case of a simple bone cyst in the spinous process of the fourth cervical vertebra in a 26-year-old woman is reported. MAIN: : Radiology of the Spine. We intend to report two cases of SBC located in the vertebral body, and review the literature. This may be the reason why simple bone cysts occur in vertebrae in an older age group than do the cysts of long bone. Spinal Cyst Treatment Conservative treatment may include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, painkillers, steroid injections and drainage. is seen in the vertebral body of L1 on axial T1-weighted (TR 285, TE 4.2) MRI (a), axial . Unable to process the form. CT guided aspiration has been reported 1. Aneurysmal bone cysts display cytogenetic rearrangements of the USP6 gene. Speak With Our Team. Diagnostic criteria according to the WHO classification of soft tissue and bone tumors (5th edition)1: a multicystic bone lesion with fluid-fluid levels on imaging, histological evidence that cyst walls are composed of fibroblasts, osteoclastic giant cells, and hemosiderin pigment as well as proof of new bone formation. Welcome VIN Logout The most frequent presentation is due to pathological fracture1,2,6. The lesion can be categorized according to the bone reporting and data system as Bone-RADS 4 unless histology has been already obtained 7. Histologically, ABC is typically characterised by blood-filled cystic spaces separated by a spindle cell stroma with osteoclast-like giant cells and osteoid or bone production. Saeid Safaei, Mirbahador Athari, Parisa Azimi, Ahmadreza Mirbolook, Taravat Yazdanian, Farhad Hamzehzadeh, Simple bone cyst of spinal vertebrae: two case reports and literature review, Journal of Surgical Case Reports, Volume 2021, Issue 11, November 2021, rjab507, https://doi.org/10.1093/jscr/rjab507.

These lesions are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally, although pain, swelling and stiffness of the adjacent joint also occur. mri Axial T2 Sagittal T2 Sagittal STIR Sagittal T1 Sagittal T1 fat sat Axial T1 C+ Sagittal T1 C+ MRI Axial T2 Iowa Orthop J. The specimen was sent for pathologic examination. The laboratory tests including complete blood count, renal function tests, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, serum calcium, serum phosphorus and parathyroid hormone were all within normal limits. (2009) ISBN:0323053750. Spinal SBC, especially in the vertebral body, is not a common lesion and there is limited data regarding managing these lesions [626]. Lichtenstein L. Aneurysmal bone cyst: A pathologic entity commonly mistaken for giant cell tumour and occasionally for hemangioma and osteogenic sarcoma. vertebral hemangioma is the most common spinal axis tumor. Vertebral Lesions: Imaging Algorithm 1 Algorithm 2 Initial imaging usually consists of plain radiography. MRI Imaging at 0.5 Tesla. AJR Am J Roentgenol. Breakage of a cyst can trigger an immunological reaction from the host, sometimes leading to an anaphylactic shock. and lack of fusion of the vertebral body of L1-L2. The main differential includes both lesions with intrinsic fluid-fluid levels (see fluid-fluid level containing bone lesions) and those from which an aneurysmal bone cyst may arise: osteosarcoma: especially telangiectatic osteosarcoma. 6. New York Downtown Hospital is a medical group practice located in New York, NY that specializes in Physician Assistant (PA) and Diagnostic Radiology. [1] Usually benign, this lesion is of vascular origin and like hemangiomas in other parts of the body usually involves a proliferation of normal capillary and venous structures.
