Abstract:
Unicameral bone cyst is an uncommon tumor-like lesion of the bone, containing distended channels or cavities filled with serous fluid. Four cases of cystic lesion at the upper end of the humerus were revealed to be unicameral bone cyst roentgenographically and microscopically. Two cases were treated with radical curettage followed by homogenous and autogenous bone graft, and one case was treated with radical curettage followed by homogenous bone graft. The other was treated with radical curettage followed by autogenous fibula graft. All cases made uneventful recoveries, and they had no complaints and no evidence of recurrence, A brief summary of literatures is submitted.
