Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign and locally destructive bone lesion usually seen in the younger population. Its etiology is unknown. Its yearly incidence rate has been reported to be 0.14/100,000, comprising 1% of all bone tumors. It may develop primarily or arise from primary bone tumors. Hemorrhagic fluid content with a septated appearance is the characteristic feature of aneurysmal bone cyst. It is most commonly seen in the metaphysis of the long bones. In rare cases, the cyst is located in the skull. Primary treatment is surgical excision, and the recurrence rate after treatment is 10 to 30%. Based on a review of the current literature, there have been no previous reports of aneurysmal bone cyst located in the middle turbinate. We report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst with an atypical location and discuss the treatment of the patient with endoscopic surgery in light of relevant literature.
动脉瘤样骨囊肿是一种良性且具有局部破坏性的骨病变，通常见于较年轻人群。其病因不明。据报道，其年发病率为0.14/10万，占所有骨肿瘤的1%。它可原发发生，也可由原发性骨肿瘤发展而来。含有血性液体且呈分隔状外观是动脉瘤样骨囊肿的特征性表现。它最常见于长骨的干骺端。在罕见情况下，囊肿位于颅骨。主要治疗方法是手术切除，治疗后的复发率为10%至30%。基于对当前文献的回顾，此前尚无位于中鼻甲的动脉瘤样骨囊肿的报道。我们报告一例位置不典型的动脉瘤样骨囊肿病例，并根据相关文献讨论该患者的内镜手术治疗。
