Résumé : | A 50-year-old lady presented with a right foot mass and pain for 1 year. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 3.9 × 3.2 × 5 cm mass on plantar side ofthe forefoot deep to the major flexor tendons and plantar aponeurosis and inferior to 1st–4th metatarsals. The mass extended dorsally through the intermetatarsal space to the foot dorsum. Ultrasound guided biopsy was performed, which confirmed it was a fibroma. This case was further complicated by pathological fracture of the 3rd metatarsal. It was resected through a dorsal incision and surgical dislocation of the 2nd and 3rd tarsometatarsal joints. Magnetic resonance imaging was repeated 1 year later and showed complete resection of the lesion without recurrence |
