Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a metaphyseal bone tumor that is frequent in children. Talar location is exceptional.
We report a case of this rare lesion managed in our department. It was a 16-year-old girl who presented with heel pain at walk, without any trauma. Radiologic explorations found a pathologic fracture of the right talus due to a bone cyst. A surgical procedure was proceeded, with curettage, and bone grafting completed by a plastered immobilization. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of ABC. Consolidation was achieved in 2 months, and there was no recurrence after 5 years.
ABC of the talus is a rare etiology of heel pain, which must not be forgotten in children.
动脉瘤样骨囊肿(ABC)是一种常见于儿童的干骺端骨肿瘤。距骨部位的情况较为罕见。
我们报告在本科室处理的这例罕见病变。患者为一名16岁女孩,行走时足跟疼痛,无任何外伤史。影像学检查发现右距骨因骨囊肿发生病理性骨折。进行了手术,包括刮除术,并通过石膏固定完成骨移植。组织病理学确诊为ABC。2个月后实现骨愈合,5年后无复发。
距骨ABC是足跟疼痛的罕见病因,在儿童中不应被忽视。
