Background Primary Rosai-Dorfman disease of bone is a rare disorder. Radiologic and clinical evaluation is insufficient in differentiating malignancy from these lesions. Methods We present a talar lesion in a 17-month-old boy who presented with deterioration in gait pattern, limping, pain, and swelling of the left ankle of 4-months' duration. Curettage and demineralized bone matrix grafting were performed. Results At 1 year after surgery, complete clinical and radiological healing was obtained. Conclusions Primary RDD of bone may present a diagnostic challenge. The condition must be included in the differential diagnosis of lytic or lucent lesions of the skeleton. Curettage and grafting provide satisfactory outcomes in talar RDD lesion in the pediatric age group.

Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral infection in infants and children. Usually these patients refer to primary health care. It often is seen in summers and between 2-10 years of age. The case that is presented here was 14-years-old, and the disease was seen in November. We aimed to present this case to attract attention of primary care physicians that this disease can be seen out of the usual age group and also out of the usual season. Key words: Febrile illnesses in children, enterovirus, coxsackievirus, hand-foot-mouth disease ÖZET El, ayak ve ağız hastalığı infant ve çocuklarda sık görülen bir viral enfeksiyondur.
