Abstract:
Chondroblastoma is a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm that accounts for 1% of bone tumors and is common in the epiphysis of the long bones. The condition is rarely found in the talus bone (4% of cases). This paper reports a 15-year-old male patient treated for a talus bone lesion discovered incidentally on imaging. Excisional biopsy, curettage, and an autobone and allobone graft were performed, with good results.
