The differential diagnosis of heel pain is extensive. The plantar heel pain is usually due to mechanical etiology, including plantar fasciitis, calcaneal spur, stress fracture, and nerve entrapment. Tumor is a rare cause of plantar heel pain. We present a case of chronic plantar heel pain with a vascular leiomyoma at the heel pad.

Surgical treatment of a hindfoot plantar leiomyoma: A case study
Turner Sankey et al
J Clin Orthop Trauma. 2022 Dec 30

Leiomyomas within the foot are rare and are difficult to diagnose with only the radiographic and clinical picture. They are benign, slow growing, and very rarely cause pain. We present an unusual case of a dermatology referral patient complaining of callus formation on the plantar aspect of the foot as well as shoe discomfort. The mass was believed to be a lipoma or a fibroma but after surgical excision was found to be a leiomyoma. Our case highlights the rarity of this diagnosis and presents a unique surgical technique utilizing a medial approach to the plantar hindfoot for lesion removal.

Current Concepts of Foot and Ankle Angioleiomyoma
Michael Matos, MD et al
February 17, 2023

Angioleiomyoma is a benign tumor, which arises from the smooth muscle. It comprises approximately 4.4% of all benign soft tissues’ neoplasms and they are commonly located at the lower extremities. They are most frequently found in middle-aged women. Angioleiomyoma is usually presented as a painful solitary lesion in the subcutaneous tissue.
Due to the lack of evidence in the literature, the aim of this current concepts review was to provide foot and ankle surgeons the most updated and useful information for diagnosis and management of foot or ankle's angioleiomyoma.
The possible diagnosis of angioleiomyoma is rarely thought of before surgery. X-ray, US, MRI, aspiration, scintigraphy, CT and EMG make part of the diagnostic tools available and angioleiomyoma's main characteristics in each of the exams are detailed.
Angioleiomyoma cannot be neglected as consequence of delay or mistreatment increases morbidity and the potential risk to malignant transformation.
