Abstract
The purpose of this communication is to describe atypical simple bone cysts of the
femoral neck seen in adult patients. Two patients, aged 56 and 49, having cystic lesions
which did not conform to a typical simple bone cyst, are reported. Common features
including eccentric location, and thick lining tissue and sclerotic margin are not
those of typical simple bone cysts seen in children. Local mechanical characteristics
might be related to the atypical presentations.
