Abstract:
A plantar fibroma is a benign nodule, characterized by progressive nodular fibrosis of the superficial plantar aponeurosis due to proliferation of fibroblasts, and usually appears in the second through sixth decade of life. It is a cause of heel pain with a high risk of recurrence with local recurrence and the risk of altering the mechanics of the foot. multi-planar fibromas, more invasive and rapid-growing, are considered plantar fibromatosis. We report a case of plantar fibroma in a 46-year-old woman, followed for gonalgia, low back pain and talalgia on heel spurs, admitted for a nodule of the sole of the foot, presenting the clinical and radiological features of this condition.
