case_images: (A) Anteroposterior (AP) and oblique view radiographs; (B) CT scan of the right foot. A well-defined osteolytic cavitary lesion in the tarsal cuboid is revealed (arrows).

case_images: FIG2
case_images: MRI with contrast, which revealed a pathological signal of the cuboid in all sequences and edema of the surrounding soft tissues. Moreover, a cavity with a 2 cm diameter was observed in the center of the cuboid with higher signal intensity margins than in the center, implying the well-known penumbra sign (Figure 2).

case_images: Alpha bone window 1.5x1.5 cm was created with a chisel over the cuboid (Figures 3, 4), followed by irrigation of the pus inside the cavity, where a foreign body of elastic consistency (probably shoe sole remnant) was identified and removed (Figure 5).
case_images: Cavity opened, excised, and lavaged

case_images: (A) Anteroposterior (AP) view radiograph; (B) oblique view radiographs. Partial new bone formation in the cavity of the tarsal cuboid of the right foot.
