An aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign, but expansile tumor like lesion that generally occurs in the long bones including the vertebral column. An aneurysmal bone cyst arising from the rib, especially in the elderly, is extremely rare.
We report a 58-year-old Turkish woman with an aneurysmal bone cyst of the right 3rd rib treated with chest wall resection. The pathologic findings confirmed the diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst. The patient has been followed up for 5 years with no evidence of recurrence.
En bloc resection can be curative and provide good results for this rare type of chest wall tumor.
动脉瘤样骨囊肿是一种良性但具有膨胀性的肿瘤样病变，通常发生于包括脊柱在内的长骨。起源于肋骨的动脉瘤样骨囊肿，尤其是在老年人中极为罕见。
我们报告一例58岁的土耳其女性，其右第3肋骨患有动脉瘤样骨囊肿，接受了胸壁切除术。病理检查结果证实为动脉瘤样骨囊肿。该患者已随访5年，无复发迹象。
整块切除对于这种罕见的胸壁肿瘤可达到治愈效果并取得良好预后。
