Can toe-walking acquired by an adult be cancerous tumor?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It could be related: Toe walking could be a result of a tumor putting pressure on the nerves or brain area that control the muscles of the foot. Consult your doctor for appropriate work-up.

If: You are concerned see your internist. Toe walking in an adult can be from a tight achilles tendon. Don't create anxiety see your dr.
