Tumors are a rare cause of ankle-region pain. Osteochondroma is one of the most common benign bone tumors, but is rarely localized to the foot bones. Here, we describe a case of a solitary osteochondroma of the sinus tarsi presenting in an 8-year-old boy with a history of recurrent ankle sprains and limited range-of-motion of the subtalar joint. Treatment was surgical excision of the tumor, and the patient is now symptom free. Clinical presentation, treatment, pathoanatomy, localization, and complication of this benign form of tumor are discussed and all previously reported cases are reviewed to provide a more comprehensive picture of osteochondroma of talus.

Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), an autosomal dominant disorder with an incidence of 1:50,000 to 1:100,000, is characterised by the formation of multiple osteochondromas arising from the metaphyses of long and flat bones. These osteochondromas often present as painless palpable lumps, though some cases are symptomatic due to mechanical compression or bursitis. Diagnosis of HME is typically clinical and radiological.

Introduction: Osteochondroma is a bony lesion arising from the surface of the bone. It com-prises a large percentage of all benign bone tumors. A unique feature of this tumor is the conti-nuity of cortical and medullary components between the normal bony tissue and aberrant tissue of osteochondroma.

Article Synopsis
- Osteochondromas are benign growths typically found in the long bones' metaphyseal region, with a very low risk of turning malignant, although cases of transformation to osteosarcoma are rare.
- A 66-year-old woman experienced abdominal pain leading to the discovery of osteosarcoma derived from osteochondromas in her right iliac bone; after chemotherapy and surgical removal, pathology confirmed the diagnosis.
- Three years post-surgery, the patient showed no signs of cancer recurrence or metastasis and regained the ability to walk unaided, but ongoing monitoring is advised.

Objective: Osteochondromas are common bone tumors with hyaline cartilage-covered heads, arising from cortical and medullary bone. Solitary medial proximal tibial osteochondromas (MPTOs) can cause pes anserinus syndrome via compression. However, the literature lacks comprehensive studies on MPTO-related pes anserinus syndrome and its surgical outcomes.
