Chondrosarcoma of the first metatarsal was observed in an 84-year-old man. Chondrosarcoma of the small bones of the foot is comparatively rare. ⋯ Radiographs show lytic destruction of bone with or without calcification. The histological grade, location of the tumor, and adequacy of surgical excision are the major determinants of long-term survival.
