Talalgie is one of the most common symptoms involving the foot. Intra-bone lipoma is one of the most rare bone tumors of the calcaneus. We report the case of a patient presenting with intermittent and spontaneous chronic heel pain. Clinical and radiological examinations confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma of the calcaneus. This study aimed to educate clinicians about the existence of this rare lesion.

Introduction And Importance: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign lytic bone tumor of the skeletal system but locally destructive lesion of unknown origin. It often occurs in childhood and usually involves the metaphyseal region of long bones; thus, its localisation in the calcaneum remains rare; its atypical presentation in our case makes it remarkable.
Case Presentation: We describe a case of a young patient who suffered from chronic heel pain, in whom the clinical examination finds swelling and pain on palpation.

Article Synopsis
- * Common issues include conditions like enthesophytosis and bursitis, but subcalcaneal bursitis, which affects the heel fat pad, is less common yet can occur in up to 10% of RA patients and can be diagnosed using ultrasound.
- * Treatment for heel fat pad abnormalities typically involves rest, pain relief, and mechanical aids, with disease-modifying drugs sometimes added, but surgical intervention is rarely necessary.
