Abstract
A 19-year-old girl presented with painless swelling of the first left toe of 6 years'
duration. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lesion demonstrated a soft tissue
mass adjacent to the surface of the bone with slight erosion of the underlying cortex.
Surgical excision was performed and the histopathological diagnosis was low-grade
periosteal chondrosarcoma, which is quite uncommon in this location.
