Abstract
Simple bone cyst is a benign lytic lesion usually encountered in children and adolescents. It is a cystic, fluid-filled lesion that usually involves the metaphysis of the long bones. Simple bone cyst of the rib is very rare, with few cases reported in the literature. Here we describe an interesting case of a simple bone cyst of the sixth rib in a 15-year-old girl that was managed successfully with surgical excision.
