Dr. Bakotic speaks about the most common benign tumors of the small bones of the feet. Using his published experiences at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center as a template for the discussion, he notes important trends with regard to frequency of occurrence, treatment, and prognosis when these tumors arise in the feet. Pertinent epidemiologic data, radiographic features, and histopathologic and genetic findings are additionally reviewed. Taking a new approach, Dr. Bakotic points out the contrasting clinicopathologic data that relates to benign tumors of the bones of the feet as opposed to similar tumors arising elsewhere in the skeletal system.
