Popis: Case Osteochondroma is a benign bone tumor usually affecting areas around the knee, pelvis, neck and tibia. This disease rarely affects the talus. A case of a 19-years-old female with anteromedial ankle impingement with 8 years follow-up is reported. Surgery removal was the treatment of choice and histopathology examination revealed a benign solitary osteochondroma. Conclusion Osteochondromas in the anterior and anteromedial side of talus are rarer and can cause multiple clinical manifestations including important ones such as limitation of ankle movement and pain. Different locations of solitary osteochondromas can influence both patients’ symptoms and clinical examination findings.
