Abstract EN
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare benign bone tumours.
Scapula is a very rare location, and the relative literature is sparse.
The purpose of this study is to present a case of a giant aggressive scapular aneurysmal bone cyst in a child.
A 7-year-old boy presented to our hospital with pain and a palpated mass on the right scapula.
Imaging studies (radiographs computed tomography scintigraphy) were indicative of aneurysmal bone cyst.
We performed curettage and bone grafting after the diagnosis was set by pathological examination through a posterior shoulder approach.
Five years later, the patient has only residual signs of the lesion on radiographic control without signs of recurrence.
