cystic bone lesions

Cystic bone lesions are abnormal, fluid-filled or semi-solid areas within the bone that can develop due to various causes, such as growth abnormalities, trauma, infections, or tumors. They often appear as spaces or cavities on imaging scans like X-rays or MRIs. While some cysts are harmless and may not cause symptoms, others can weaken the bone, increasing fracture risk or causing pain. Proper diagnosis involves medical imaging and sometimes biopsy, and treatment depends on the size, location, and cause of the lesion, ranging from observation to surgical intervention.
