Hoon Ji and Jin Suck Suh

    Abstract

    In 4 patients with aneurysmal bone csyts(ABCs), radiologic findings of their conventional x-rays, 99cmTc-MDP bone scans and CT scans were reviewed. On CT scans, 3 patients revealed so called “the fluid-fluid levels.” Itmost be one of the specific findings which is able to diagnose the ABC. When we performed the ultrasonography in apatient with the balooning out lesion on right ilium, multiple horizontal echogenic lines were observed in the supine and decubitus postion. It could be interpretated as identical finding ot the fluid-fluid levels on CT. Therefore ultrasonography is also one of the specific diagnostic tools to detect the ABC. Transcatheter embolization was beneficial in reducing operation time and blood loss, and in supplying clear operation field.
