  • Title: Non-cartilaginous metaphyseal cysts in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease: report of a case.
    Author: Johnson C, May DA, McCabe KM, Guse R, Resnick D.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1997 Oct; 27(10):824-6. PubMed ID: 9323253.
    Abstract:
    Discrete metaphyseal radiolucent lesions, often termed "metaphyseal cysts", are a frequent finding in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. Recent literature emphasizes that such lesions represent ectopic physeal cartilage. This paper reports a case in which biopsy of the metaphyseal lesion indicated that no cartilage was present.
