Abstract
Introduction and importance: Osteochondroma is a benign skeletal neoplasm presenting with the proliferation of bony tissue. Osteochondroma of the foot is uncommon and that of the cuneiform is an extremely rare entity. Case presentation: We present the case of a 22-year-old woman with osteochondroma of the left medial cuneiform who was having pain in the first ray of the left foot. Clinical discussion: Most cases of osteochondromas are non-tender and painless mass with a benign asymptomatic course; however, progression to inflammation and neurovascular complications may cause considerable morbidity. The majority of cases are treated conservatively, while some severe cases require surgical management. Conclusion: Operative treatment of osteochondroma with excision of the mass remains a safe and successful alternative to conservative management whenever required.
