Based on a study of 14 patients younger than 16 years, we found that lumps on the plantar aspect of the anteromedial portion of the heel pad can safely be observed. Many remained small and asymptomatic, some disappeared, and two that required repeated excision biopsy did not subsequently recur. The six patients who were subjected to excision biopsy were found to have plantar fibromatosis. This very precise heel site is a characteristic situation for plantar fibromatosis in childhood.
基于一项对14名16岁以下患者的研究，我们发现足跟垫前内侧足底部位的肿块可以安全地进行观察。许多肿块保持较小且无症状，有些肿块消失了，另外两个需要反复切除活检的肿块随后并未复发。接受切除活检的6名患者被发现患有足底纤维瘤病。儿童期足底纤维瘤病在足跟的这个非常精确的部位是一种特征性情况。
