Excerpt

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign bone tumor. Only recently, the neoplastic nature of this disease has been demonstrated [1] concluding speculations about a presumptive hyperplastic nature of this disease, based on slow growing cases, sometimes self-limited cases [2], reported as well as cases of fast and locally aggressive (but never infiltrative) behavior [3]. …
