Hi, hoping to get some suggestions about a case that came up today...

A 54yo female presented with left midfoot pain. She has had a painful, palpable, soft tissue lesion for 8 weeks, and it is increasing in size. To brush softly causes pain, let alone to palpate the area. Wakes her at night in bed.
ultrasound shows "well defined lesion appearing to lie external to plantar fascia, approximately 16mm in size, uncertain in exact nature of lesion".
Patient reports no initial irritation of area, no history of foot pain, and no increase in activity or change of footwear over last months, and patient insists appropriate footwear is usually worn.
Plan is to get biopsy and possible surgical review.
?fibroma or ?acute plantarfascial rupture (free of other PF symptoms). Open to suggestions?!!
