Abstract
- Plantar fibromatosis (PF) is a rare benign disease. Here we report bilateral PF accompanied by Dupuytren's contracture in the right palm. Magnetic resonance imaging was useful in diagnosing PF, although biopsy was needed to rule out hemangioma. As the patient had been receiving female hormone therapy since orchiectomy, there may be a possibility that estrogen accelerated the growth of PF. Local excision with a 1-cm margin was performed, followed by primary wound closure. Neither complication nor recurrence had occurred 6 months after the surgery.<br /> (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved. © The Author(s) 2020.)
