\nAbstract<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\nCase Report:<\/span><\/strong> We report the case of a 17-year-old girl with chondroblastoma mimicking an aneurysmal bone cyst in the naviculum. Along with the primary enbloc excision of the naviculum, a tricortical iliac crest bone graft was placed in the gap to prevent collapse of the medial longitudinal arch.
\nConclusion:<\/span><\/strong> Chondroblastoma in uncommon sites can present with atypical features and cause dilemma in diagnosis and thereby management.
