The plantar fascia is an important structure in the foot that acts as a major stabilizer of the longitudinal arch, along with the midfoot ligaments and intrinsic and extrinsic muscles. It is composed predominantly of longitudinally oriented collagen fibers that vary in thickness and are organized into bundles closely associated with the interstitial tissues of the foot. This composition enables the plantar fascia to withstand the weight-bearing forces concentrated on the foot while standing, jumping, walking, or running. This article discusses the normal anatomy and the various pathologies that affect the plantar fascia with an emphasis on presurgical and postoperative appearances on magnetic resonance and ultrasonography imaging.

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with a broad spectrum of organ manifestations, presenting with characteristic radiological and histological findings. Soft tissue manifestations (xanthogranulomas) have been reported to be most commonly found in the region of the orbits. We report bilateral Achilles tendon xanthogramlomas in a 36-year-old male with biopsy-proven and B-RAF V600E-positive ECD. Although rare, ECD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intratendinous masses.
