The accessory navicular bone is an anatomic variation that is usually asymptomatic. It can be symptomatic, mainly due to inversion trauma of the foot. Its prevalence has been reported as 4-21%. We aimed to present a case who was admitted to our outpatient clinic with foot pain and found to have an accessory navicular bone. A 58-year-old female patient referred to our outpatient clinic with pain and swelling in the left foot's medial part. The patient's complaints had continued for about one year, and her pain resolved with rest and aggravated by walking. In the musculoskeletal examination, there was mild edema on the medial side of the left foot and tenderness with palpation between the medial malleolus inferior and the navicular region. Accessory navicular bone was determined in the computed tomography examination of our case. Therefore, the accessory navicular bone should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases admitted with pain in the medial side of the foot.
