Abstract:
The following case of solitary bone cyst of the proximal femur was misdiagnosed as fibrous dysplasia because of similarity of X-ray findings and was confirmed by histological findings. The cyst was treated by curettage, packing with autogenous iliac bone and kiel bone graft and internal fixation with Ender nail. The most recent evaluation one year after surgery showed no pain and recurrence.
