Lg Krishna, Ketan Pandey, Anish Agarwalla

Abstract :

A aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign tumour whose pathophysiology is unknown. It represents less than 1% of all bone tumours with a tendency to develop in metaphysis of long bones , less frequently in spine and sacrum with patient aged less than 20years with a female preponderance. Development in the patella is even rarer and accounts for less than 1% of all ABC. Treatment usually includes curettage of lesion with bone grafting. We present a case of 24years old male with 6months history of pain in knee which was evaluated as primary ABC of patella and treated with extended curettage and bone cementing and followed up for a period of 12 months.On follow up patient was asymptomatic.
