Analyses of the 1981-2000 data for the prevalence of childhood tumor-like bone lesions in Georgia in relation to the age and sex of the patients revealed that the most frequent forms of pathology were bone cyst, fibrous displasia, and non-osteogenic fibroma, with the ratio of 6:2:1. These pathologies were found in boys twice as often as in girls. Patients with bone cyst were, as a rule, younger than those with fibrous displasia and non-osteogenic fibroma. All mentioned above reflects the specificity of tumor-like bone lesion prevalence in children in Georgia.
