A rare case of multiple and huge simple bone cysts in Wilson's disease.

A simple bone cyst is a tumor-like lesion that is not a true neoplasm. It usually presents as a solitary lesion within the proximal humerus and proximal femur. The etiology of simple bone cysts is still to be elucidated. We describe our experience in the successful surgical management of a rare case of two, large-sized, simple bone cysts involving the entire left humerus and right femoral head, respectively, in a 34-year-old male patient with Wilson's disease and concomitant hepatic cirrhosis. We theorized that Wilson's disease could be the cause of the delay or blockage of the natural healing process of the simple long-bone cysts, leading to their abnormal growth and development. To our knowledge, such a combined occurrence of multiple, simple long-bone cysts and Wilson's disease has not been reported in the literature to date.
