Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign but locally destructive lesion of the bone characterized by the presence of spongy or multi-loculated cystic tissue filled with blood. It accounts for 2.5% of all bone tumors. An ABC may involve almost any bone, but the most frequent sites are long tubular bones and vertebrae. The sternum is a rare location for an ABC. Here we present a case with sternal ABC, discuss the clinical manifestations and treatment, and review the literature. Radical wide resection of primary sternal tumors and reconstruction with appropriately rigid prosthetic material are necessary to avoid chest wall instability and minimize local recurrence.
骨巨细胞瘤（ABC）是一种良性但局部破坏性的骨病变，其特征是存在充满血液的海绵状或多房囊性组织。它占所有骨肿瘤的 2.5%。ABC 可累及几乎任何骨骼，但最常见的部位是长管状骨和椎体。胸骨是 ABC 的罕见部位。在此，我们报告 1 例胸骨 ABC 病例，讨论其临床表现和治疗，并复习文献。为避免胸壁不稳定和最大限度减少局部复发，原发性胸骨肿瘤需要进行根治性广泛切除，并使用适当刚性的假体材料进行重建。
