The challenge in clinical practice is to distinguish the multitude of trivialities from the few malignant entities and to arrive at a reliable clinical diagnosis in a reasonable amount of time with a moderate use of diagnostic tools.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">In a retrospective analysis, tumors, tumor-like lesions, and pseudotumors distal to the Chopart joint presented to our multidisciplinary university tumor board between January 2010 und June 2023 were analyzed concerning entity, location, age, and sex.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Of the 167 cases included, 18 were osseous and 149 were soft tissue lesions. Overall, the metatarsal region was most frequently affected, accounting for 42.5% of all cases. Osseous lesions showed a preference for the phalanges and soft-tissue lesions occurring more frequently in the metatarsal region. In total, 88.0% of all cases were benign. All 20 malignant cases derived from soft tissue, occurred in all sections of the forefoot and midfoot and comprised 13 entities. Most lesions affected middle-aged patients, but cases occurred in almost every age group.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">In the examined patient population of a German university hospital, most cases were benign soft tissue lesions with a substantial share of pseudotumors and tumor-like lesions. However, the malignancy rate of 12.0% highlights the importance of differential diagnostic considerations. In cases of uncertain results, it is crucial to refer individuals with unclear masses to a specialized center for musculoskeletal tumor care early on in their treatment process.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Levels of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">III<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/19386400241283418","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,18]],"date-time":"2024-10-18T12:54:43Z","timestamp":1729256083000},"page":"355-361","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Distribution Patterns of Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions of the Forefoot and Midfoot: A 12.5-Year Study at a University Hospital"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1943-5288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian","family":"Scheele","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics and Sports Orthopedics, Technical University of Munich, Klinikum Rechts der Isar, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Norbert","family":"Harrasser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics and Sports Orthopedics, Technical University of Munich, Klinikum Rechts der Isar, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simone","family":"Beischl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics and Sports Orthopedics, Technical University of Munich, Klinikum Rechts der Isar, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dietmar","family":"Dammerer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Krems University Hospital, Krems, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulrich","family":"Lenze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics and Sports Orthopedics, Technical University of Munich, Klinikum Rechts der Isar, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carolin","family":"Knebel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics and Sports Orthopedics, Technical University of Munich, Klinikum Rechts der Isar, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Lenze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics and Sports Orthopedics, Technical University of Munich, Klinikum Rechts der Isar, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"424","article-title":"Case series.
