A decent starter film for a fellowship exam. A lucent bone lesion.
The examiner can use this film to:
1. assess the candidate's ability to describe a focal bone lesion
2. assess knowledge depth through inquiry into a differential
3. inquire further into additional imaging which may help (e.g. MRI to see fluid-fluid levels to distinguish between a unicameral bone cyst and aneurysmal bone cyst)
4. assess if the candidate gives a common sense/most likely diagnosis and management plan
The reality is on plain film alone it is difficult to be definitive, especially between the chief two differentials of UBC and ABC.
