A Rare Case of Aneurysmal Bone Cyst – Navicular Bone Treated by Intralesional Sclerotherapy Agent Polidocanol
INTRODUCTION: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is an intraosseous arteriovenous malformation, usually treated by surgical excision but with higher recurrence rates.

Sumario: | INTRODUCTION: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is an intraosseous arteriovenous malformation, usually treated by surgical excision but with higher recurrence rates. The occurrence of this lesion in navicular bone is a rare entity. Repetitive sclerotherapy using 3% polidocanol is a minimally invasive, safer method of treatment for ABCs. METHODS: A patient of ABC of the navicular bone precisely diagnosed through X-ray, MRI, and biopsy was given periodic injections of 4 ml of 3% polidocanol under aseptic precautions from April 2018 to July 2018. A total of four injections given at an interval of 1 month. RESULTS: Regular follow-up done for 1 year. At the end of all the four injections, the lesion healed completely with a relief in presenting symptoms. No complications were reported. At 3 months post-therapy, the patient was able to walk without pain. After 1 year of follow-up, the patient was symptom-free with no signs of recurrence. CONCLUSION: Surgical resection/curettage has higher chances of recurrence; therefore, usage of intralesional sclerotherapy agent polidocanol should be considered the treatment of choice in the lesions smaller than 5 cm. |
