Abstract
Diaphyseal unicameral bone cysts of the long bone are generally known to originate near the growth plate and migrate from the metaphysis to the diaphysis during skeletal growth. In the case of unicameral bone cysts of diaphyseal origin, recurrence at the same location is extremely rare. We report a case of recurrence of a unicameral bone cyst in the diaphysis of the femur that developed 8 years after treatment with curettage and bone grafting. We performed bone grafting and lengthening of the affected femur with an application of the Ilizarov apparatus over an intramedullary nail to treat the cystic lesion and limb length discrepancy simultaneously.
