[2 cases of tumor-like changes in the talus]

Tumors and tumor-like conditions in the talus are rare.--In our first case operation revealed a benign osteoblastoma, in the second case an solitary bone cyst. Microscopic findings allowed other diagnoses too, but our diagnoses were made on the basis of clinical appearance and X-ray and histological findings. After local resection and insertion of bone chips in the one case and curettage and filling with bone chips in the other, healing was complete.
