GAROZ FONSECA, José Enrique; GUERRERO TAMAYO, Pavel y LOPEZ PEDROSO, Raúl Braulio. Solitary bone cyst. Presentation of a case. Multimed [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.6, pp. 1408-1416. Epub 04-Nov-2020. ISSN 1028-4818.
Introduction:
the Solitary Bone Cyst (QOS) has been recognized for many years as a benign injury; it's a cavity full of clear liquid.
Clinical case:
12-year-old male patient, who says that two years ago he suffered a fall from his feet causing him a mild trauma at the level of the right humerus, was seen urgently in the guard corps diagnosing a pathological fracture of right humerus by a solitary bone cyst. It was treated conservatively with U-gypsum splint and later humerus and plaster Velpeaux for 2 months. After 1 year the patient comes because he has slight pain and increased volume in the antero-external region of right humerus without color change. Physical Examination: Slight pain to palpation, increased volume and limitation to the movements of abduction and flexo extension of the right arm.
Discussion:
x-ray was indicated to show: Well-delimited metaphysarian lesion, lucid radius, with the cortical thinned, crossed by septums.
Conclusions:
a solitary bone cyst was diagnosed. The surgical treatment performed was scraping and filling with Hydroxyapatite.
