The majority of simple bone cysts (SBC's) is not symptomatic and remains undiagnosed or is discovered fortuitously. A number of simple bone cysts are only diagnosed after a pathological fracture which occurs as a presenting symptom. Fractures are managed either conservatively or surgically, based on criteria such as the age of the child and the type and localisation of the fracture. The risk fo...

INTRODUCTION: Aneurysmal bone cyst is an uncommon in skull bone. The reported incidence in the skull is 1% of all aneurysmal bone cysts. Most of the cases are associated secondary phenomenon like pre-existing fibrous dysplasia. We present the imaging features and pathology of a primary ABC of the frontal bone, with no underlying bony abnormality or pre-existing trauma.

Genetic determinants of bone mineral content in prematurely born children at 3 months and 9-11 years of age were studied. The findings suggest that multiple genes are involved in the regulation of site specific bone mass accumulation during childhood.

PURPOSE To elucidate the natural history of unicameral bone cyst (UBC) and risk factors for pathological fracture. METHODS 14 males and 8 females (mean age, 9 years) diagnosed with UBC were reviewed. Cyst location, symptoms, and whether there was any fracture or surgery were recorded. Cyst parameters were measured on radiographs, and included (1) the cyst index, (2) the ratio of the widest cy...

conclusions based on this report (of a patient presented with an intramedullary cyst in the long bones), the primary bone hydatid cyst disease should be kept in mind and be investigated in the differential diagnosis. case presentations in this study, an evaluation was made of a patient referred at yozgat state hospital orthopedics and traumatology polyclinic with complaints of pain in her left ...

Although aneurysmal bone cysts and calcifying odontogenic cysts accompanied with other lesions are reported in the literature, the simultaneous occurrence of these two distinct lesions has not been reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing co-occurrence of these two lesions located in the left mandibular ramus in a 36-year-old woman.

Subchondral bony cyst, large solitary or multiple cysts in acetabular dome usually exacerbate progression to degenerative osteoarthritis in the hip joint. But it can be treated through arthroscopic intervention. We report two cases that treated by arthroscopic curettage and bone graft for subchondral bony cysts in early osteoarthritis of the hip joint, and it may delay progression to moderate o...

Bone cysts are a well recognised radiological feature of advanced osteoarthritis (Plewes 1940, Brailsford 1952). They are seen frequently in relation to the hipjoint in both acetabulum aild femur, but it is perhaps not always appreciated how numerous and extensive they may be. The present study attempts to correlate the radiological and pathological features of the cysts occurring in the head o...

Radicular cysts are the most common cystic lesions affecting the jaws. They are most commonly found at the apices of the involved teeth. This condition is usually asymptomatic but can result in a slow-growth tumefaction in the affected region. The following case report presents the successful treatment of radicular cysts using autologous periosteum and platelet-rich fibrin with demineralized fr...
