Objective: Many different neoplastic and non-neoplastic
lesions involve the skeletal system. Clinical and radiological tools primarily
assess the nature of these lesions.The aim of
this study was to analyze the cystic bone lesions in a pathologic point
of view.

Methods: All bone cysts between 2002 and 2013 retrospectively evaluated under the guidance of
clinical information and radiological images. Descriptive
data such as age, gender, tumor site, symptoms, and clinical and radiological
findings obtained from the hospital’s database system.

Results:
There were 96 cystic bone lesions; 47
were aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs), 37 were simple bone cysts (SBCs), one was a
lesion with features of both ABC and SBC, four were intraosseous ganglia, four
were epidermoid cysts, and three were hydatid cysts. The mean ages of the
patients with ABCs and SBCs were 18.7 ±
12.8 years (range, 3-75 years) and 23.8 ±
13.3 years (range, 3-62 years), respectively. Most of the lesions located in
the long bones.

Conclusions: Cystic lesions of the bone rarely encountered in daily pathology routine. As with all
conditions affecting the skeletal system, one of the most important steps
towards an accurate pathological diagnosis is to perform with clinical and radiological information while evaluating
the patients.
