Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Atlas: Treatment with Denosumab and Case Report
Article in several languages: español | EnglishAbstract
We present a case of aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of infrequent location and aggressive behavior in a 28-year-old male patient, in which surgical resection is controversial due to the risk of iatrogenicity and eventual recurrence. Treatment with denosumab has been recently proposed as an alternative for the management of unresectable or recurrent ABCs; however, the available literature is sparse. We report our experience with one case and analyze the available literature.
