A study of simple bone cysts is reported, giving the results of a pilot study of all cases traceable over the past 10 years in Auckland. Curettage and grafting arc shown to be of dubious value. The natural history of some examples is described to illustrate principles thought to contradict earlier concepts of the origin of these lesions.
