Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation of bone is a rare, benign bone tumor. The authors discuss two cases involving the bones of the feet, and review clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic characteristics. Awareness of this lesion is essential as bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation of bone can be mistaken for a malignancy.
