Analyses of the operative materials obtained from the children with diagnosed tumor-like bone lesions in 1981-2000, revealed that during the study period 172 cases of bone cyst, fibrous dysphasia, non osteogenic fibroma (metaphysis fibrous defect) and eosinophilic granuloma were registered. Most often tumor-like bone lesion developed in shinbones, arm and thighbones. Besides, mentioned above lesions were characterized by selective location in all the bones. This fact must be taken into account when the lesion is being diagnosed.
