Calcaneal tumors and tumor-like conditions.
Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract
Approximately 3% of osseous tumors occur in the foot and ankle. Solitary bone cysts, chondroblastoma, intraosseous lipoma, osteoid osteoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma seem to have a predilection for the calcaneus. Biopsy is often a crucial step in management. Tumor-like conditions, such as cysts, reactive lesions, and osteomyelitis, must be considered during evaluation. Treatment is often observation or curettage of benign lesions and resection or amputation for malignancies.
