Case Discussion
Had been complaining of low back pain for over a month, which had worsened in the past few days.
MRI spine showed an aneurysmal bone cyst compressing the spinal cord.
Pathology concurred with aneurysmal bone cyst and no other underlying primary tumor.
Underwent embolization and excision of the lesion via posterior laminectomy.
