Lipofibromatous hamartoma is associated with pain and sensory and\/or motor deficits in the area of innervation of the affected nerve. This report describes a rare case of LFH of the plantar nerve. A 48-year-old woman presented to our outpatient orthopedic clinic with pain and a burning sensation on her left foot. The patient had a history of Morton's neuroma and had undergone a tarsal tunnel operation 2 years earlier at another center. None of her symptoms was alleviated by two previous operations. Magnetic resonance imaging with contrast revealed tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus tendon and signal changes at deep tissue planes of the foot at the levels of the second and third toes, on the dorsal site and subcutaneous soft-tissue planes, suggesting edema and Morton's neuroma. The lesion was excised under spinal anesthesia, and histopathologic examination of the specimen revealed a diagnosis of LFH. The patient was discharged without any symptoms and her foot was normal at 8-month outpatient follow-up, with no indications of postoperative complications and\/or recurrence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7547\/16-168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,10]],"date-time":"2018-04-10T12:55:11Z","timestamp":1523364911000},"page":"182-185","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Lipofibromatous
