| Xanthomas are local collections of lipid-laden macrophages and collagen, which are
usually associated with impaired lipoprotein metabolism. Xanthomas occur frequently
in the skin, subcutis, or tendon, and occasionally in the plantar fascia. Small numbers
of xanthomas have been surgically confirmed in the plantar fascia and their sonographic
appearance has not been described in the literature. We present sonographic
findings of a pathologically proven plantar fascia xanthoma, which was initially mistaken
as plantar fibromatosis. |
