Unicameral Bone Cyst of the Scaphoid: A Report of Two Cases

Abstract: Unicameral bone cysts are benign, fluid-filled lesions that occur mostly in long bones (proximal humerus, 50-60%; femur, 30%) of male children aged 5 to 15 years. Occurrence in the scaphoid of an adult is rare. We report 2 such patients who presented with wrist pain, with and without a history of trauma. Both underwent curettage and bone grafting (harvested from the distal radius) and achieved good functional recovery.

“…Following appraisal of the articles' (n = 147) full text, the second screen identified 27 articles, published between 1984 and 2016, reporting on a total of 38 patients that met the inclusion criteria ( Figure 1). 1,3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]25,26,[28][29][30]33,34,[36][37][38] Among the 38 patients (14 male, 24 female), 3 had bilateral cystic lesions, for a total of 41 scaphoid cystic lesions. The findings from each study are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…It represents a benign expansile lesion of unclear etiology that commonly affect the long bones (50%-60% proximal humerus; 30% proximal femur) of male children aged 5 to 15 years. 15 Most cases are asymptomatic and found incidentally, or become symptomatic following pathological fracture. 15 In contrast, the 2 cases of unicameral bone cysts of the scaphoid included in this review were diagnosed on radiographs in symptomatic adult patients presenting with acute wrist pain.…”

“…Previously reported theories for cyst formation generally conform to either the intrusion or the contusion model. In the intrusion model (10-12), a defect occurs in the articular cartilage and joint fluid passes through the breached cartilage, resulting in hydraulic destruction of the subchondral bone (4,5). The contusion model finds repetitive microtrauma as the principal etiology leading to a localized area of subchondral necrosis and secondary cyst formation (11)(12)(13).…”
