Abstract
Introduction: Benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone is a rare tumor. Only few cases have been reported in literature.

Radiological findings revealed osteolytic lesion of talus and histological features were similar to non-ossifying fibroma and metaphyseal fibrous defect. Because of pain, unusal location and unusual age group the lesion was diagnosed as benign fibrous histiocytoma of Talus.
Conclusion: Benign fibrous histiocytoma should be considered as one of the histopathological diagnosis although benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone is a rare entity.

Keywords: Talus, Fibrous histiocytoma, Fibrohistiocytic
