Aneurysmal bone cyst arising in fibrous dysplasia during pregnancy

Radiology. 1987 Nov;165(2):549-50. doi: 10.1148/radiology.165.2.3659382.

Abstract

A case of two secondary aneurysmal bone cysts arising in fibrous dysplasia during pregnancy is reported. Marked radiographic changes were seen in one lesion over a 3-week period. The development of these cysts during pregnancy strongly suggests that the hemodynamic and/or hormonal changes of pregnancy were responsible for their formation.
