Abstract:
The common sites of solitary bone cyst(SBC) are humerus, femur and less common sites are tibia, calcaneus, ilium, fibula, radius and ulna. Ischium rib, scapula, spine, clavicle and patella are rare sites of solitary bone cyst. As mentioned above, SBC of patella is very rare and on view of literatures we could find only one reported case which was treated by patellectomy. We also experienced one case of SBC located at patella, so we report this case with review of literatures.
