Abstract
Plantar fibromatosis, otherwise known as Dupuytrens disease of the foot, is a relatively uncommon benign lesion. It is characterized by the replacement of elements of the plantar aponeurosis with fibrous tissue, which then slowly invades the skin and the deep structures. Generally an asymptomatic lesion, plantarfibrosis may occasionally cause foot pain. We recently experienced a case of painful plantar fibromatosis. On which a wide surgical excision was done. A one year postoperatively, follow-up examination revealed neither recurrence nor walking disability.
