title: Unicameral bone cyst in the scapula of an adolescent.
abstract: Unicameral bone cysts of the scapula have been reported mainly in adult patients. The atypical location of the unicameral bone cyst in a 12-year-old girl presented a diagnostic dilemma. Curettage proved to be an effective method for both diagnosis and treatment of this benign lesion.
