[Monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the calcaneus: two case reports].

The authors report two unusual cases of aggressive monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the calcaneus. This lesion occurs on the 2th decade of life. The main symptom is talalgia. On plain films, differential diagnosis includes aggressive cystic or pseudocystic lesions of the calcaneus. On MR imaging, the tumor matrix is more suggestive of the diagnosis. Treatment of this aggressive form of fibrous dysplasia consists of a surgical curettage completed by cryotherapy and graft because of a high level of recurrence.
