Bone cysts are rare orthopaedic problems in dogs. There are no clear treatment guidelines. A young male Shih Tzu was referred to Small Animal Clinic with fifth-degree lameness (5/5) of the left thoracic limb, and with swelling and deformation of the distal humeral region. The radiological assessment revealed an enlargement of the distal brachium and an extensive hypodense osteolytic lesion in the distal metaphyseal region of the humerus. Diagnosis of the bone cyst was formulated and treated with a mini-invasive method using autologous non-concentrated bone marrow injections. The treatment was successful, and at the three weeks, the cyst significantly changed its structure. The follow-up at 12 weeks after the first injection, and at one year revealed complete recovery. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of a bone cyst in a young dog successfully treated with a minimally-invasive method by using a non-concentrated autologous bone marrow injection.
骨囊肿在犬类中是罕见的骨科问题。目前尚无明确的治疗指南。一只年轻的雄性西施犬因左前肢五级跛行（5/5）以及肱骨远端区域肿胀变形被转诊至小动物诊所。放射学评估显示臂部远端增大，肱骨远端干骺端区域有广泛的低密度骨质溶解病变。诊断为骨囊肿，并采用自体非浓缩骨髓注射的微创方法进行治疗。治疗取得成功，三周时囊肿结构明显改变。首次注射后12周及一年后的随访显示完全康复。据我们所知，这是首次有证据表明一只幼犬的骨囊肿通过使用非浓缩自体骨髓注射的微创方法成功治愈。
