  • Title: [Isolated Ledderhose fibromatosis plantaris].
    Author: Runkel N, Göhring U, Friedl W, Roeren T.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1993 Jul; 64(7):589-91. PubMed ID: 8375212.
    Abstract:
    Plantar fibromatosis or Ledderhose syndrome has rarely been discussed in the medical literature. This clinical entity includes nodular Dupuytren-like indurations of the plantar aponeurosis. We present a case of a young man with isolated disease of his right foot and describe the clinical and pathomorphological features of this disease as well as its characteristic findings at magnetic resonance tomography. The therapy of choice is a subtotal resection of the plantar aponeurosis to prevent irreversible contractions of the toes. The prognosis following fascietomy is good.
