The authors present a rare case of a talar unicameral bone cyst in a 9-year-old boy. This is the first such case presented in podiatric literature; the lesion has been cited infrequently in world literature. A brief review of the literature is discussed, along with the diagnostic tests, possible complications, and proper therapy for this lesion.

The authors discuss soft tissue calcifications as a possible effect of local corticosteroid therapy. The literature will be reviewed and a case report will be presented, which illustrates soft tissue calcifications in the heel of a patient who received multiple injections of triamcinolone hexacetonide, for heel spur syndrome. The accumulation of insoluable steroid acts as a foreign body and induced a chronic granulomatous inflammatory process, with subsequent dystrophic calcification.
