Fibromatosis of the soleus muscle presenting as pes equinus: A case report

摘要

The patient walked with a toe-walking gait pattern and the heel came off the floor about five centimeters. The dorsiflexion of the foot was limited to -50 degrees despite the knee position. A cord-like lesion was palpable from the mid-calf down to insertion of the Achilles tendon. T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images showed a soft tissue lesion with the hypointense signal in her left soleus muscle. Partial resection of the proximal end of the tumor, in combination with adhesiolysis and Achilles tendon lengthening, was performed.
