simple bone cysts are usual, benign, fluid-filled, cystic lesions that often occur in the metaphysis of the long bones and are rarely detected in vertebrae. a case of a simple bone cyst in the body of the fifth lumbar vertebra in a 28-year-old woman with complaint of intermittent low back pain is described. according to the radiologic findings, the lesion was detected as a simple bone cyst, and...

conclusions: despite its known shortcomings, like every other diagnostic tool, panoramic radiography can contribute to the early detection of maxillary/mandibular lesions that in turn enable the dentist to devise an appropriate treatment plan. results: cysts were mostly more common in men despite the equal propensity of both genders to benign tumors. in contrast, women showed a higher frequency...

a 48-year-old man referred with pain and swelling at the upper and middle third of left tibia with a history of previous os­seous hydatid disease three years ago. despite surgical procedure which was performed in this case, recurrence was ob­served and repeated exploration with wide resection and oral medical therapy were recommended. bone hydatid cyst is an uncommon disease with difficult resp...

Post-traumatic osseous cystic lesions are a rare complication in children. An aetiology of intramedullary fat seepage through the damaged bone cortex and its entrapment within the subperiosteum has been proposed. These lesions run a benign course and usually resolve spontaneously. The presence of fatty marrow gives it a distinct appearance which aids in its diagnosis and differentiation from ot...

introduction calcifying odontogenic cyst (coc) is an uncommon odontogenic lesion, classified in two variants: the cystic variant and neoplastic (solid) variant. case presentation this case report presents multiple coc, which involved the maxillary bone and sinus in a 30-year-old man. several of these lesions were cystic, while the others were neoplastic in type, and the lesions were removed sur...

We report two cases of cystic lesions in the head and neck, one a cystic schwannoma and the other a neurofibroma, both of which showed fluid-fluid levels on MR images. The differential diagnosis of fluid-fluid levels in the head and neck region should include cystic hygromas, aneurysmal bone cysts, soft-tissue cavernous hemangiomas, and simple bone cysts.

Hydatid cysts can be caused by Echinococcus species in various tissues. Skeletal cystic lesions are very rare and may be neglected. Here, we report a case of pathologic fracture following primary hydatid cystic lesions in the proximal and femoral shaft bone. A 62-year-old man suffered a sudden fracture followed by swelling of the thigh. Intramedullary femoral fixation was made and during the su...
