M85.46: Solitary bone cyst Lower leg

A cavity has formed in the bone in your lower leg.

This type of cavity in the bone is filled with fluid.

You may have pain in your bone as a result of the cavity. The skin over the affected area may swell up. As a result of the cavity, the bone in the affected area is less stable than usual so it is more fragile.
