ABSTRACT

Plantar fibromatosis is a benign fibrous disease involving plantar aponeurosis. A 27-year-old male with a history of painful lesions on feet since 3 years ago is reported. Physical examination reveals nodules of 3- to 4-cm in the medial plantar feet with normal overlying skin. Biopsy showed a nodular fibrous proliferation of fibroblasts surrounded with a dense stroma. We established the diagnosis of plantar fibromatosis.
