case_images: Following a midshaft femoral fracture after minimal trauma, diffuse osteitis fibrosa cystica was diagnosed, including multiple cervical spine lytic lesions (Fig. 1A). As early as 7 weeks later, a remarkable improvement of the vertebral lytic lesions was seen, with a significant sclerosing component filling the bone cysts (Fig. 1B); further radiologic improvement was documented 2 months afterwards (Fig. 1C).
