Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Podiatric Medicine

Background:

  • Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors, rarely occurring in the foot (pedal leiomyoma).
  • Clinical presentation often includes pain and a palpable subcutaneous nodule.

Observation:

  • This case report describes the largest pedal leiomyoma documented in the English literature.
  • The tumor was noted to be subcutaneous and encapsulated.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma.
  • Surgical excision was performed for symptomatic relief.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering rare soft tissue tumors in the differential diagnosis of foot masses.
  • Contributes to the limited literature on pedal leiomyomas, aiding future clinical and research endeavors.
