Solitary bone cyst of the pelvis is a rare lesion. The diagnosis is relatively simple providing sufficient material is accumulated during biopsy or surgery. Calcifying forms often cause difficulties in terms of differential diagnosis. Radiographic imaging can be complex when examining large lesions of the pelvis. Biopsy is the method of choice for definitive diagnosis, which should be verified against material gathered surgically or during curettage. Bone tumors of the pelvis have to be considered in the differential diagnosis of the lesion. Large cystic lesions of the pelvis in particular are to be reviewed pathohistologically to avoid false diagnosis. The consequences for the patient in terms of quality of life and life expectancy can be serious. The need for interdisciplinary cooperation is greater than ever to ensure correct diagnosis and therapy of bone lesions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
