Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is defined as an expansile and osteolytic lesion,
containing cystic cavities full of blood, which although benign, has a locally
destructive course. The most preferred treatment method is surgery. Curettage
and bone grafts are often used. The case is here presented of an ABC located in
the clavicle, which was successfully treated with fibula allograft.
