Simple bone cyst is a benign pseudo cystic cavity in the bone that is less commonly associated in the maxillofacial region. The other synonyms are traumatic bone cyst or idiopathic bone cyst. These cysts are devoid of an epithelial lining and usually contain straw-colored fluid or is empty. Simple bone cyst is mainly seen in young individuals, frequently during the first and second decade of life.
