Osteoid osteomas of the talus are rarely seen. They can easily be misdiagnosed. In this case report, we present a 21-year-old man with an osteoid osteoma in the talar neck whose pain onset coincided with an ankle injury. The latter was deemed a misleading factor when making a diagnosis. Eventually, the patient was treated with surgical excision of the osteoid osteoma. The gap that resulted after the excision was filled with an autologous bone graft. A year after his operation, the patient returned to his daily activities and remained pain-free. A high index of suspicion and an appropriate imaging examination are mandated for the early diagnosis of such entities.
