lantar fibromatosis is a disorder of fibrous tissue proliferation, characterized by a slowgrowing nodular thickening, most often within the central band of the plantar aponeurosis. The fibromatotic process grows slowly and invades the skin and deeper structures.1 The similarities of this condition to those observed in palmar fascia (Dupuytren's disease) seem to support the theory that the two diseases are expressions of the same disorder.2 Although much has been discussed about Dupuytren's contracture in the international literature; little or no information is available regarding plantar fibromatosis from the Indian subcontinent. We present a case of a young woman with isolated disease of her right sole and describe the clinical and pathomorphological features of this rare clinical entity. Case reportA 30 year-old housewife presented to our out-patient department with a history of painful swelling of her right sole. (Fig.1) The swelling appeared six years ago and was gradually progressive. It is associated with a dull aching type of pain which on later stages prevented her from walking even small distances. On examination, she had multiple nodular, non compressable swellings in her right sole. The biggest nodule measured 2 cm in diameter. The swellings were tender to touch with no local rise in temperature. The skin over the swelling was normal. No flexion contracture of toes 2 or neurovascular deficits was noted. Motion of the foot and ankle were within the normal range. The examination of skin and subcutaneous tissues elsewhere in her body and the palms did not reveal any similar swelling. The patient denied any history of diabetes mellitus 3 , epilepsy, chronic liver disease or keloidal tendencies.
