Aetiology of a simple bone cyst. A case report.
We describe a simple bone cyst in a patient who had an osteoblastic lesion which had been discovered 1 1/2 years earlier. Curettage and drilling proved effective treatment. We suggest that increased regional blood flow, in association with bone formation, produces a hydrodynamic disorder followed by venous obstruction leading to the formation of a bone cyst.
