Abstract

Foot and ankle tumors are relatively rare. Nevertheless, the calcaneus is a prevalent location accommodating various lesions. Reactional periostitis of the lateral wall is rarely encountered but can potentially mimic a wide variety of tumors. We present a case of excessive proliferation due to chronic compression of the peroneal tendons against the calcaneus in a female patient with a history of diminished foot control, treated successfully by tumor excision and peroneal restoration via the tubularization technique. This study aimed to underline the mimicking potential of reactional periostitis and its effect on the peroneal tendons and hindfoot motion.
