Abstract

Ledderhose disease, or plantar fibromatosis, is a rare benign disorder of fibrous proliferation in the plantar aponeurosis. It is known to be highly associated with Dupuytren disease of the hand by sharing similar symptomatology and treatment methods. This case study explores a presentation of Ledderhose disease in a 56-year-old male with concomitant Dupuytren contracture. The patient underwent surgical excision resulting in symptomatic relief with regained function. This case highlights diagnostic measures, association with Dupuytren disease, and both surgical and nonsurgical treatment methods of Ledderhose disease.
