Résumé
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are benign but locally aggressive lesions. The treatment of ABC has evolved over the years, but curettage with or without local adjuvants still represents the standard. Less invasive methods such as embolization, sclerotherapy or RANKL inhibitors (Denosumab) are also established. The aim of this study was to report and compare the results of a series of patients mainly treated with curettage with and without subsequent phenolization. 65 patients with the unequivocal diagnosis of primary ABC were treated. 61 of them were located within the bone whereas 4 patients had an ABC of the soft tissues. All patient were treated surgically by means of curettage with or without adjuvants, resection, or with minimally invasive methods such as Polidocanol injections, embolizations or Denosumab treatment. In total 80 procedures had been performed. Our patients had a mean age of 25.3 ± 16.0 years, ranging from 4 to 74 years. The most common skeletal locations were the pelvis in 23%, the femur in 18%, the tibia in 16% and the spine in 10%. Six lesions were resected and showed no recurrence. 5 patients were treated with polidocanol injections ( Curettage is still the standard of treatment for ABC. Local recurrence does not depend on the use of adjuvant phenol as shown in this and other studies. Minimally invasive methods such as selective embolization and injections of sclerosing agents may result in healing or at least in tolerable persistence of residual lesions but needs repetitive treatments and does not show homogenous results throughout the institutions. Denosumab appears to be an additional option, especially in surgically critical locations such as the spine or the sacrum.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are benign but locally aggressive lesions. The treatment of ABC has evolved over the years, but curettage with or without local adjuvants still represents the standard. Less invasive methods such as embolization, sclerotherapy or RANKL inhibitors (Denosumab) are also established. The aim of this study was to report and compare the results of a series of patients mainly treated with curettage with and without subsequent phenolization.
METHODS
METHODS
65 patients with the unequivocal diagnosis of primary ABC were treated. 61 of them were located within the bone whereas 4 patients had an ABC of the soft tissues. All patient were treated surgically by means of curettage with or without adjuvants, resection, or with minimally invasive methods such as Polidocanol injections, embolizations or Denosumab treatment. In total 80 procedures had been performed.

RESULTS
Our patients had a mean age of 25.3 ± 16.0 years, ranging from 4 to 74 years. The most common skeletal locations were the pelvis in 23%, the femur in 18%, the tibia in 16% and the spine in 10%. Six lesions were resected and showed no recurrence. 5 patients were treated with polidocanol injections (
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Curettage is still the standard of treatment for ABC. Local recurrence does not depend on the use of adjuvant phenol as shown in this and other studies. Minimally invasive methods such as selective embolization and injections of sclerosing agents may result in healing or at least in tolerable persistence of residual lesions but needs repetitive treatments and does not show homogenous results throughout the institutions. Denosumab appears to be an additional option, especially in surgically critical locations such as the spine or the sacrum.
