“…Piezogenic papules are small, painless bumps that typically appear on the heels of the feet. They are caused by the herniation of fat through the fascia, a connective tissue layer that surrounds the muscles [26].…”

“…However, if you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your heels, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider to determine the cause and discuss treatment options. In some cases, piezogenic papules may be a sign of underlying issues with the feet, such as flat feet or high arches, which can lead to discomfort and other problems if left untreated [26,27]. There is no specific treatment for piezogenic papules, and they often resolve on their own over time.…”

Foot pain (FP) is widespread throughout the population, with prevalence estimates ranging from 17 to 30%, while a comprehensive study found that more than one-quarter of people over the age of 45 have regular hindfoot pain (HP). HP has been linked to limitations in daily living activities, poor balance, gait issues, and poor health-related quality of life. According to studies, at least two-thirds of people have moderate functional daily living issues. Aging, female gender, obesity, chronic medical conditions (such as osteoarthritis and diabetes), biomechanical factors (excessive external rotation of the lower extremity, increased pronation of the subtalar joint, plantar flexor weakness, Achilles tendon shortening), and anatomical changes (pes planus, pes cavus) have all been identified as risk factors for HP. People with HP have bone and soft-tissue overload, foot anatomic disorders, and a decreased range of motion (especially ankle dorsiflexion). There are several hindfoot pathologies that can lead to HP. The aim of this study is to overview the pathologies of the hindfoot that cause hindfoot pain.

“…Clinically, they appear as visible or palpable nodules in the lateral, medial, or posterior aspects of the feet that are more pronounced in a stand-up position. 36 On ultrasound imaging, there are hypoechoic protrusions of the subcutaneous fat into the dermal layer that increase in size in the stand-up position. On color Doppler imaging, these protrusions tend to be hypovascular (Figure 7).…”

“…These are focal herniations of the fat of the subcutaneous tissue that frequently appear on the feet of hikers, gymnasts, weight lifters, dancers, and runners, among other sports participants. Clinically, they appear as visible or palpable nodules in the lateral, medial, or posterior aspects of the feet that are more pronounced in a stand‐up position 36 . On ultrasound imaging, there are hypoechoic protrusions of the subcutaneous fat into the dermal layer that increase in size in the stand‐up position.…”

Chronic exposure to trauma, friction, or extreme conditions can generate cutaneous or ungual lesions in sports and certain occupations. Although some of these dermatologic conditions are diagnosed with a naked-eye examination, there are cases in which the provision of the underlying anatomic alterations can be helpful for the diagnosis and management. In comparison with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound has the highest axial resolution, which is critical for the observation of anatomic changes in the skin and nail. We review the ultrasound characteristics of frequent cutaneous and ungual lesions related to sports and occupations with a clinical correlation. The ultrasound features in some particular conditions such as "biker's and surfer's panniculitis," "fiddler's neck," piezogenic papules, and lipoatrophy semicircularis, among others, are discussed.
