Plantar fibromas are a common soft tissue mass that is frequently encountered by a foot and ankle surgeon. Plantar fibromas are typically thought of as a benign, firm, single or multinodular mass within the plantar fascia. There are several additional medical conditions that have been said to be affiliated with plantar fibromas including Dupuytren's contracture, Peyronie's disease, and even epilepsy. Plantar fibromas have been well documented in the past regarding surgical versus nonsurgical treatment as well as complications due to a high recurrence rate. The purpose of this case study and literature review is to evaluate the tumor staging in regards to surgical complications, imaging, recurrence, and histological findings upon excision, as well as present a rare case of an advanced interdigitating multinodular plantar fibroma.
