Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Chondroblastoma is a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm that accounts for approximately 01% of all bone tumors. It characteristically arises in the epiphysis of long bone, particularly humerus, tibia and femur. Chondroblastoma in tarsal (talus) bone is a rare entity. Chondroblastoma usually occur in 2nd decade of life before obliteration of epiphyseal line with slight male predominance. Diagnosis is obtained from histopathological examination. We report an unusal case of benign chondroblastoma of talus in a female patient managed successfully with curettage and bone cementing.</p>
