Abstract

First-ray metatarsalgia is commonly attributed to pathologies of the 1st metatarso-phalangeal joint or the sesamoids. A case of a 50-year-old male patient with 1st ray metatarsalgia caused by a rare benign tumour is presented - a soft tissue chondroma located in the subcutaneous tissue plantar to the head of the 1st metatarsus. The tumour was removed with no evidence of recurrence and the patient is symptom-free ever since. A review of the literature regarding this unusual type of tumour is further presented and discussed.
