    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Skeletal Radiology

    Background:

    • Unicameral bone cysts (UBCs) are typically found in long bones.
    • Their occurrence in flat bones, such as the scapula, is uncommon.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a 21-year-old male patient with a unicameral bone cyst located in the scapula.
    • This unusual presentation posed diagnostic challenges.

    Findings:

    • The scapular unicameral bone cyst, though rare, demonstrated a very good prognosis.
    • Successful treatment was achieved through bone grafting.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering UBCs in the differential diagnosis of scapular lesions.
    • Bone grafting offers a favorable outcome for treating these rare, flat-bone UBCs.
