We report a case of a symptomatic unicameral (simple) bone cyst of the lunate in a 42-year- old woman. The lesion was treated with curettage and cancellous autogenous iliac bone grafting. At five years of follow-up the wrist was pain free, there were no limitations of motion, and the radiographs showed complete obliteration of the cavity. To the best of our knowledge, no other unicameral bone c...

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a giant-cell-rich bony lesion associated with abundant multinucleated osteoclast-type giant cells. It is a primary neoplasm of bone with characteristic clinical, radiological, and pathological features. It is an expansive and lytic lesion without periosteal reaction and prominent peripheral sclerosis. Giant cells are also seen in other diseases like giant cell ...

Large talar cysts are typically associated with trauma and communicate with an osteochondral lesion. Aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare etiology of a large talar cyst. While there are many graft and surgical options, treatment consists of curettage of the talar lesion and grafting the associated talar cyst. This report presents a case of large talar body cyst without significant disruption of the t...

Lichtenstein in 1942 and consists essentially of fibrous tissue honeycombed by vascular spaces. The lesion has been observed in many parts of the skeleton but it occurs especially in the shafts of long bones and in the vertebral column. It causes localised distension and destruction of the affected bone, limited peripherally by a thin bony shell (Fig. 1). In the past the lesion has usually been...

Thyroglossal duct cysts are one of the most common cervical congenital anomalies. They occur along thyroid migration tract, which extends from base tongue through midline neck to level cricoid cartilage. present as a mass and closely associated with hyoid bone. Here, we describe case where two cystic structures were found just inferior gland bone, suggesting double thyroglossal cyst. It is impo...

Hydatid disease is an extremely uncommon differential diagnosis in the cystic/lytic lesions of bone. We present a rare case of echinococcal infection of femur which presented as pathological fracture in a middle-aged female and diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. Hydatid disease of bone is often asymptomatic, and its diagnosis is usually made when lesions have become extensive.

The incidence of aneurysmal bone cysts is 0.14 cases per 100,000 individuals. Parosteal aneurysmal bone cysts are the least prevalent subtype and represent 7% of all aneurysmal bone cysts. We present the case of a 38-year-old male patient with pain and bulging in his right arm for eight months. He had previously been diagnosed as presenting giant-cell tumor, but his slides were reviewed and his...

Nasolabial cyst or cyst invading the nasal fold is rare but it should be suspected in patients with nasal vestibule cysts. It is a non-odontogenic cystic lesion of epithelial origin characterized by extra bone growth on the maxilla. The diagnosis of nasolabial cyst is strongly suspected clinically and the size of the cyst can reach 3 to 4 cm resulting in facial deformation. CT scan confirms the...
