Osteochondromyxoma is a rare bone tumour. Bone tumours of the talus are also uncommon, and accounts to be between 8% to 23% in tumours of the foot. A 28-year-old man presented with chronic right ankle pain. He had underlying left knee ligament and meniscal injury. Special examination tests for ligament injury were negative. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a benign bone lesion of talus with reactive oedema of sinus tarsi. Excision of lesion was done and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ostechondromyxoma.
