Abstract
- Plantar fibromatosis is characterized by a nodular fibrous proliferation arising within the plantar aponeurosis. The tumor may be asymptomatic, but symptoms commonly include a painful mass, difficulty in fitting shoes and tenderness while weightbearing. Occasionally palmar and plantar fibromatosis affect the same patient. We report a case of plantar fibromatosis with Dupuytren's contracture in a 40-year-old man.
