A Case of Bilateral Unicameral Bone Cysts

Gretchen D Oliver

Unicameral bone cysts typically occur in the metaphyseal-diaphyseal regions of long bones within the first 10
years of life. These unicameral bone cysts are considered a benign self-limiting disease that spontaneously heals
after skeletal maturity. They are relatively common in the humerus, femur, and tibia; yet rarely develop in the
calcaneous. Incidence of bilateral cysts is extremely rare. The case presented is of a 38-year-old female who
suffered from bilateral unicameral bone cysts of the calcaneous that required surgical intervention
