Painful Angiomyoma of the Heel Region: A Rare Case Report

This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of angiomyomas, given their nonspecific clinical presentation and imaging findings. While magnetic resonance imaging may reveal characteristic features such as strong gadolinium enhancement, definitive diagnosis relies on histopathological evaluation. Clinicians should include angiomyoma in the differential diagnosis of painful subcutaneous masses in the foot and ankle, particularly in middle-aged women. Surgical excision remains the definitive diagnostic and therapeutic approach, with low recurrence rates reported.

Abstract

This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of angiomyomas, given their nonspecific clinical presentation and imaging findings. While magnetic resonance imaging may reveal characteristic features such as strong gadolinium enhancement, definitive diagnosis relies on histopathological evaluation. Clinicians should include angiomyoma in the differential diagnosis of painful subcutaneous masses in the foot and ankle, particularly in middle-aged women. Surgical excision remains the definitive diagnostic and therapeutic approach, with low recurrence rates reported.
