Treatment comprised of an open biopsy followed by aggressive curettage, phenolization and bone cement. Symptoms resolved after treatment with resumption of normal activities and no signs of recurrence at 1 year follow-up.Conclusion:This case appears to be the first reported case of chondroblastoma occurring at medial malleolus.
