Abstract

Enchondromas are the most commonly seen benign tumors of the small bones of the foot. If symptomatic, these tumors often require surgical excision. Foot surgeons must weigh the surgical alternatives with respect to relief of symptoms, prognosis, cosmesis, and function. The authors present a typical case presentation of a solitary enchondroma in a phalanx.
