Abstract

Soft tissue osteochondromas are the rare tumors of the foot. We present an unusual case of a 30-year-old woman who had a large osteochondroma originating from the soft tissue in the heel region. She made an uneventful recovery following excision. No recurrence was noted at 36 months follow-up. To the best of authors’ knowledge, such presentation has not been reported before in the English language-based medical literature.
