Abstract
Plantar fibromatosis or Ledderhose disease is characterized by a benign fibroblastic proliferation of the plantar fascia. It is an illness with unknown etiology and a complex treatment in its most intense manifestation. The authors describe a surgical option for extensive cases where conservative treatments are not successful. Surgical techniques may vary according to the site and extent of the lesions. Surgical treatment with wide resection of the lesion and second intention healing using a hydrocolloid dressing. After a 3-year follow-up with no recurrence, the authors demonstrated an excellent result, which led to an important improvement in the patient's quality of life. Surgical treatment can be a good option for plantar fibromatosis. Giant lesions can be treated with wide excisions and second intention healing, with low risk of aesthetic and functional complications.
