Solitary bone cyst in a 57-year-old woman - A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Solitary Bone Cysts (SBC) are rare, benign cystic lesions typically found in long bones in children and adolescents. Diagnosis is primarily made through X-ray and other radiological methods. Treatment options vary from observation to surgical procedures depending on each case. This case highlights the importance of recognizing SBC as a potential cause of mild skeletal discomfort in older patients, even in atypical locations.

Case presentation

This paper documents the case of a 57-year-old woman with a SBC in her proximal tibia with minimal symptoms. Diagnosis was made based on X-ray imaging and MRI, and surgical intervention was the chosen course of treatment given the weight-bearing nature of the tibia. Follow up X-ray showed adequate results and healing.
