Regional Osteoporosis (Hollow Tuberosity)

A dome-shaped "air space" or cavitation has its base toward the posterior, with a very thin cortex and almost no trabecular pattern.  The tuberosity was tender to palpation, a frequent finding with hollow tuberosities.  The walls of the cavitation were completely bare and dry.
