Aneurysmal Bone cysts (ABC) are extremely rare in the head and neck region and even rarer in sinuses. ABC is a benign multicystic mass that is locally-destructive and rapidly expandable. Hemorrhagic fluid content (like in this case) and septated appearance are the characteristic feature of ABC. Established treatment options for ABCs include sclerotherapy, embolization, radiotherapy, simple curettage, surgical excision, or a combination of methods.
In this article, a 5 year-old boy with a recurrent nasal mass is presented. The patient was finally diagnosed with this rare entity: ABC of the paranasal sinuses. The patient was treated through complete surgical removal.
ABC can be considered as a rare differential diagnosis of recurrent nasal hemorrhagic mass in a pediatric population.
动脉瘤样骨囊肿（ABC）在头颈部极为罕见，在鼻窦中更是罕见。ABC是一种良性多房性肿物，具有局部破坏性且可迅速扩张。出血性液体成分（如本例）和分隔状外观是ABC的特征性表现。ABC已确立的治疗选择包括硬化疗法、栓塞、放疗、单纯刮除、手术切除或多种方法联合使用。
本文介绍了一名患有复发性鼻腔肿物的5岁男孩。该患者最终被诊断为这种罕见疾病：鼻窦ABC。患者接受了完整的手术切除治疗。
ABC可被视为儿科人群复发性鼻腔出血性肿物的一种罕见鉴别诊断。
