Introduction Plantar fibromatosis is a rare hyperproliferative disease of plantar aponeurosis and is also called Ledderhose disease. Case properties and treatment are discussed in this report. Case Report A 30-year-old man presented with painful bilateral plantar nodules. He had multiple and bilateral fixed and solid nodules on the plantar and medial side of his feet measuring 1 cm each. Ultrasound was performed and hypoechoic homogeneous nodules were detected. The patient underwent surgery, and the nodes were removed via a plantar incision with 2-cm safety distance. Discussion Ledderhose disease is a rare, hyperproliferative disorder of the plantar aponeurosis. The nodules are slow growing and found in the medial part of the plantar fascia. The precise etiology remains unknown. The treatment options are conservative management, steroid injections, radiotherapy, and surgery. Conclusion The main cause of this disease remains uncertain. Related conditions should be evaluated, and a patient who presents with Dupuytren or Peyronie disease should also be investigated for Ledderhose disease.

Early Surgical Intervention

Case report of a 29 years old female patient with mucopolysaccharidosis type I and Ledderhose disease is presented. Examination of plantar surfaces showed tumor like protrusions up to 6.5 cm, of irregular shape and extremely painful at palpation, on both feet. Resection of plantar aponeurosis and fibrotic nodes on both feet was performed against a background of pathogenetic enzyme replacement therapy. No complications were observed in postoperative period. This case illustrates that in such patients performance of early surgical intervention at specialized departments is possible and reasonable, as it enables to restore weight bearing ability of the foot as well as significantly increases the quality of life.

Ledderhose Disease

Abstract The description of corticosteroid injection as a treatment option for Ledderhose disease has received little attention in the literature and often merely receives a passing comment in scientific papers. We present a short case series of two patients that underwent corticosteroid injection in combination with fenestration to treat painful Ledderhose disease nodules. Both patients had their lesions injected on two occasions. Significant reduction in pain and lesion volume was seen at 12 months post treatment. Our protocol combines fenestration with the use of triamcinolone acetonide (mixed with local anaesthetic) which we believe conveys further advantage over corticosteroid infiltration alone.
