“…A summary of 16 cases reported in 15 studies can be found in Table 1. Among 16 case studies, 56% of patients were within the 20-40-year-old age range [4,8,10,[13][14][15][16]18] while 31% were under 20 [6,7,11,12,17] and 13% were over 40 [5,9]. The ratio of male to female cases was 7:9 and the duration of symptoms ranged from one month to three years.…”

“…Physical examination findings reported include pain, swelling and tenderness [5][6][7][8][9][10]12,13,[15][16][17][18]; an antalgic gait [6,10]; and painful and/or restricted range of motion at the ankle joint [4,7,8,10,13,15,16,18] or subtalar joint [6,8,13,15,16,18]. These symptoms are often severe enough to interfere with daily activities such as walking or a patient's ability to do sports.…”

“…Our case utilised radiography, MRI and CT scans to identify the lesion and assess the extent of its growth and spread. In the literature, radiographs were similarly useful in 14 cases [4,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]18], were unremarkable in one case [17] and were not used in one case [5]. Radiography was also useful in assessing any narrowing of joint spaces [4,6,10,13].…”

“…GCTs in the tarsal bones often appear as osteolytic lesions without periosteal new bone formation on radiography [11]. MRI was used in seven cases [4,5,8,13,14,16,18] and CT scans were used in eight cases [5,7,11,[13][14][15]17,18]. In addition to visualising the lesion, MRI was also able to identify bone marrow oedema [5,8,16] and intralesional haemorrhage [13,14].…”

Giant cell tumours (GCTs) of the bone often arise in the long bones while occurrence in smaller bones of the hand and feet is very rare. We report a case of GCT in the talus of a 17-year-old male who presented with a six-month history of worsening pain in his left ankle and loss of function, reducing his ability to walk and participate in sports. Radiographs of the ankle showed bony overgrowth on the head and neck of the talus with cortical breaching. MRI revealed possible extension into soft tissue and bone marrow oedema. CT scan also revealed an aggressive lytic lesion at the head and neck of the talus. He was managed with intralesional curettage and autologous bone grafting with bone harvested from the left knee. There was no evidence of recurrence at the six-month follow-up and the patient was able to walk freely. In conclusion, GCTs of the talus tend to occur in younger and healthier patients and have disastrous consequences if they persist, recur, or metastasize. Given the severe negative impact that GCTs have on a patient's quality of life, they must be ruled out when investigating any ankle pain or reduced mobility. Current treatment options have produced consistently positive results while novel therapies that enable a faster return to weight bearing and reduce recurrence appear promising.

“…Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a benign, locally aggressive bone tumor rich in osteoclast‐like giant cells. It represents around 5‐6% of all primary bone neoplasms and 20% of benign bone neoplasms . GCTs tend to occur at the third and fourth decades of life, with a slightly higher incidence in women.…”

Cystic bone tumors of the foot and ankle

Bone tumors are relatively rare in the foot and ankle region. Many of them present as cystic lesions on plain films. Due to the relative rarity of these lesions and the complex anatomy of the foot and ankle region, identification of such lesions is often delayed or they get misdiagnosed and mismanaged. This review discusses the most common cystic tumors of the foot and ankle including their radiographic features and principles of management.
