Benign osteoblastoma, a rare tumor which forms osteoid and woven bone, represents 3% of benign and 1% of all pimary bone tumors. It can involve anywhere in the axial skeleton, which is most common in the spine (34%). But the lesion of the calcaneus is extremely rare. The ratio of males to females is 2:1, with 80 percent of the patients being under thirty years of age. Pain is the most common symptom and rarely pathologic fracture. Osteoblastoma is a benign tumor but has a high recurrence rate after intracapsular malignant change. Therefore, croice of surgical procedure is the ´enbloc´ resection. Authors have experienced a case of osteoblastoma developed in calcaneus. The treatment was wide resection and triple arthrodesis.
