Okay. But what can it be? What is a bone lesion? If it’s not a tumor or anything like that? Can it be a cyst? How do they know it’s benign?
Also, you said "Bone lesion means benign or malignant tumor. The report say there is no tumor or infection in left ilium." If I have a lesion, but it is saying its not a tumor, then what do i have? Don't lesion mean tumor in other words?
Brief Answer:
This can be a bone cyst.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
A benign lucent lesion can be a bone cyst. Since the lesion is stable in size and has not increased in last five years it is a benign lesion.
Lesion means an abnormality. Tumor means any swelling but here it refers to any malignancy as tumor refers to a malignancy in layman's terms.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
