Abstract: This case study presents a 14yearold female with a rare instance of enchondroma in the metatarsal bone, initially masquerading as a giant cell tumor based on clinical and radiological findings. Through histopathological examination, the lesion was accurately diagnosed as an enchondroma. The case emphasizes the importance of considering differential diagnoses in bone lesions and highlights the surgical management undertaken to ensure a favorable outcome.
