Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are benign neoplasms frequently occurring in the long tubular bones. It is very rare in temporal bone. We report a case of ABC of the left temporal bone in an 8-year-old Asian boy who presented clinically with swelling over the left temporal region for 5 months. CT and MRI features were suggestive of ABC. Surgical resection was performed and on follow-up the patient was doing well. CT and MRI are the imaging modalities for proper evaluation of ABC, aiding to diagnosis and helpful in treatment planning.
动脉瘤样骨囊肿(ABC)是常见于长管状骨的良性肿瘤。在颞骨中非常罕见。我们报告一例8岁亚洲男孩的左颞骨ABC病例,该患儿临床上表现为左颞部肿胀5个月。CT和MRI特征提示为ABC。进行了手术切除,随访时患者情况良好。CT和MRI是正确评估ABC的影像学检查方法,有助于诊断并对治疗方案的制定有帮助。
