Bone cysts are benign tumor-like lesions which often present as a fluid-containing cavity in the bone. They can occur in the skeletal bone as solitary or sometimes multiple bone lesions. ⋯ Cystic bone formations are among the most commonly occurring non-traumatic bone lesions. To eliminate differential diagnostic unclarity, histological investigation of biopsy material is essential. In terms of surgical intervention there exists a trend towards multimodal therapy mostly based on a meticulous curretage.
