Introduction:
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a metaphyseal bone tumor that is frequent in children. Talar location is exceptional.
Case Report:
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.
Conclusion:
ABC of the talus is a rare etiology of heel pain, which must not be forgotten in children.
