To date, only three cases involving the sesamoid bone have been reported in the literature. We report the case of a 14-year-old female who presented with a 1.5-year history of foot pain and impaired gait. Clinical evaluation and imaging\u2014including plain radiography and magnetic resonance imaging\u2014identified a lesion in the medial sesamoid bone. The diagnosis of osteochondroma was confirmed histologically, and the lesion was excised with preservation of the sesamoid bone. Postoperatively, the patient\u2019s pain resolved completely, and her gait returned to normal within two months. We recommend surgical excision of symptomatic osteochondromas of the sesamoid bone to alleviate pain and restore functional gait.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/japma116030023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]],"date-time":"2026-04-24T12:29:11Z","timestamp":1777033751000},"page":"23","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Osteochondroma of the Sesamoid Bone: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"116","author":[{"given":"Mustafa","family":"Karahan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Dunyapark Hospital, 21070 Diyarbak\u0131r, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0198-7807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damla","family":"Unal Zilcioglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program of Physiotherapy, Sakarya University of Applied Sciences, 54400 Sakarya, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huseyin","family":"Karahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Schaffhausen Kanton Hospital, 8208 Schaffhausen, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"681","DOI":"10.21873\/invivo.12308","article-title":"Osteochondromas: An Updated Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Clinical Presentation, Radiological Features and Treatment Options","volume":"35","author":"Tepelenis","year":"2021","journal-title":"In Vivo"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101635","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foot.2019.08.006","article-title":"Osteochondroma of the talus in a 19-year-old female: A case report and review of the literature","volume":"42","author":"Galanis","year":"2020","journal-title":"Foot"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1195","DOI":"10.1007\/s00256-012-1427-0","article-title":"The imaging of cartilaginous bone tumours.
