Popis: Diaphyseal aneurysmal bone cyst is very rare. We report a case in a 20-year-old female.The clinical signs developed rapidly, within one month. The lesion was first curetted and grafted with cortico-cancellous bone. Recurrence was observed 6 months later. Complete excision and reconstruction with a free fibular vascularized grafted enabled healing.The pathogenesis of aneurysmal bone cysts is debated. We hypothesize that it is due to the opposed direction of periosteal and medullary blood circulation. This could explain the relative rarity of diaphyseal localizations compared with metaphyseal localizations.
