Unicameral bone cyst in the scapula of an adolescent.
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.
