A Lytic Bone Lesion is anything that destroys the bone. These lesions can be benign as well as caused by cancer. A person's age is one clue as to the nature of a lytic lesion. Evidently the Radiologist feels that the lesion discovered on your Mother's Bone Scan is caused by something other than cancer. It's entirely possible that this lesion has been present for some time and has no connection to her breast cancer. You might discuss this is detail with her Oncologist.   Regards ....
