Solitary bone cyst - what does this mean

A solitary bone cyst is a benign, fluid-filled lesion that occurs in the bone. it is caused by a defect in the bone's growth, allowing fluid to accumulate in the bone's interior. it is most commonly found in the long bones of the arms and legs, and is usually asymptomatic. it is usually diagnosed through imaging tests such as x-rays or mri scans. treatment is usually not necessary, but in some cases, surgical removal may be recommended.

What happens during the disease - solitary bone cyst

Solitary bone cysts are benign, non-inflammatory lesions caused by abnormal bone growth. they are believed to form due to a disturbance in the normal bone growth process, resulting in an accumulation of fluid in the bone marrow. this fluid can cause a cyst to form, which can weaken the bone and cause it to break. the exact cause of solitary bone cysts is unknown, but it is thought to be related to genetic and environmental factors.
