Plantar Fibromatosis
Introduction
Plantar fibromatosis is a benign proliferative neoplasia of the plantar fascia. (See also Overview of Foot and Ankle Disorders .) In plantar fibromatosis, fibrous nodules along the plantar fascia are displayed most easily when the foot is dorsiflexed against the leg. Most patients also have palmar nodules, usually located at the fourth metacarpophalangeal joint. Reported associations with diabetes, epilepsy, and alcohol use disorder may be anecdotal.
