Plantar fibromatosis, also known as Morbus Ledderhose, is a well
known and frequently encountered disorder of the planta pedis. When
conservative treatment fails, surgical therapy with complete
resection is the therapeutical procedure of choice. Soft tissue
sarcoma is a heterogeneous and rare malignant disease of the
musculoskeletal system with over 50 histopathological subtypes which
can potentially arise in any localization but is most commonly found
at the extremities. Here, we report the case of an epithelioid
sarcoma of the sole of the foot which was initially and repeatedly
clinically and histopathologically misinterpreted as plantar
fibromatosis, receiving insufficient resection and subsequently
ending in amputation of the lower leg.
