Abstract EN
A nine-year-old male presented with persistent lower back pain for several weeks.
Clinical examination revealed limitation of back flexion.
Radiological examination revealed a lytic lesion in L4 vertebra, which was confirmed as an Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology.
The patient underwent two surgeries five months apart, which resulted in a recurrence of larger tumor discovered four months following the second surgery.
A conservative approach was adopted to treat the final recurrence.
