Abstract

The purpose of this pictorial review is to aid the clinician in distinguishing different benign lesions within the foot and ankle. We discuss the typical clinical and radiological findings as well as management options for intra and extra-compartmental lesions. Differentiation between sarcoma and benign lesions is imperative when presented with any mass in the foot or ankle.
