Osteochondromas are the most common benign tumours of the bone with an incidence of 30% to 40% [1]. These lesions are thought to arise due to congenital defect in perichondrium [1] or due to some deficiency in containment of the physis. However the discovery of the cytogenetic aberrations involving the EXT genes (in both sporadic and hereditary forms, and in solitary as well as multiple lesions) it became clear that this is another developmental bone lesion that is now best regarded as neoplasm. Literature describing involvement of other anatomic sites is scarce. These can arise in any bone which is formed from cartilage [2]. These generally occur near the growth plates of long bones and most commonly form around the shoulder or knee [1]. Osteochondromas around small bones of foot are rare as seen in our case.
