Abstract
A 50-year-old lady presented with a right foot mass and pain for 1Â year. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 3.9Â ÃÂ 3.2Â ÃÂ 5Â cm mass on plantar side of the 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 1Â year later and showed complete resection of the lesion without recurrence.
