PreviousUncameral Bone Cyst (Visit Resource)
Description A unicameral (simple) bone cyst is a cavity found within a bone that is filled with straw colored fluid. It is a benign condition (non-cancerous). Unicameral bone cysts (UBC) are usually found in patients younger than 20 years of age. UBCs occur in one bone, in one location. The location of the cysts tends to be in the upper arm (proximal humerus) or thighbone (proximal femur). Less common locations include the pelvis, ankle (talus) or heel (calcaneus).
