A rare case of dumb-bell lipoma of the sole

A rare case of dumb-bell shaped lipoma of sole of foot in a middle aged lady which had crippled her life for almost a decade in-spite of multiple surgeries. She was initially misdiagnosed to have a corn on her sole and had undergone 3 surgeries spanning about 5 years. Due to the big size of the soft tissue swelling an MRI was done which showed a dumb-bell shaped swelling of foot. A major portion of swelling was lying deep to the plantar fascia after breaching the fascia. She underwent an excision of the swelling and is free of any recurrence after 2 years. She is now able to walk with a normal gait.
