Abstract:
Neoplasms of the foot are relatively rare problems. Because of their rarity, many physicians are not familiar with their diagnosis or treatment. In addition, there is a diversity of opinions about the histogenesis, nomenclature, and treatment of these tumors. A systematic approach to evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment is necessary to ensure prompt, appropriate management of these problems. Topics discussed in this article included the initial evaluation, staging, biopsy, surgical resection, and postoperative care.
