A plantar fibroma is a fibrous knot (nodule) in the arch of the foot. It is embedded within the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that extends from the heel to the toes on the bottom of the foot. This is usually a benign finding and is only treated if it symptomatc or painful. If you have concerns please contact a foot and ankle specialist for futther informaiton.
