The talar tuberculosis is a rare bone localization of Koch bacillus. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman, with no special medical history, who complained of pain in the right foot with chronic evolution. Pathology study of a Bone biopsy led to the diagnosis of talar tuberculosis. A 6-months anti-bacillary treatment was given. The risk of degeneration compromises the functional future of the ankle joint.
