Acid and alkaline phosphatase activity in bone-cyst fluid.
The acid and alkaline phosphatase activity in fluid aspirated from solitary bone cysts in six patients was measured, and large increases in the concentration of acid phosphatase were found. In some cases this increase was reflected in venous blood concentrations. The significance of these findings for the pathogenesis and the management of solitary bone cyst is discussed.
