Abstract :

Primary intraosseous haemangioma is an uncommon bone tumor that accounts for approximately 1% of all primary bonetumors. The majority of cases are seen in the cranium and vertebrae, either as solitary or as multiple lesions. It is rarely found on foot. Furthermore, it is especially uncommon to be located at this site. We describe here a case of a 20-year old male who presented with an anosteolytic lesion on the fifth metatarsal of the right foot. He received a surgical excision. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of lobules of capillary sized vascular channels with occasional dilated crescent-shaped openings at the periphery.
