Abstract

Simple bone cysts rarely occur in the scapula, and, to our knowledge, they have not been reported in the acromion. In the present report, we present the case of a 24-year-old female patient who was successfully treated by curettage and grafting using xenografting. No recurrence findings were observed during the follow-up six months postoperatively, the patient had recovered full range of motion, and she was able to perform all routine activities satisfactorily.

* Study conducted at the Department of Orthopedics, Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training And Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
