The occurrence of a giant-cell tumor (GCT) in the small bones of the foot is rare. Two studies have shown incidences of 1% and 2%1,2. The younger age of patients with a GCT in the foot, compared with those with tumor in the long bones, as well as a multifocal trend and a higher recurrence rate have been stressed in the literature3. In one study, eighteen of twenty-one GCTs that involved the foot were distributed in the tarsal bones, with a noteworthy number of cases in the talus4. Although metatarsal lesions were rare in that series, several cases of single or double metatarsal reconstruction in patients with GCT have been reported in the literature5-7.
