    Abstract

    BACKGROUND:

    Soft tissue tumors of the feet are uncommon and there have been very few reports of large series in the literature. These tumors continue to present the clinician with one of the most difficult problems in medicine.

    CASE PRESENTATION:

    We present a case of a large multilobular noninfiltrating angiolipoma at the plantar surface of the forefoot. Only three cases occurring at the foot have been previously described. We report this new case due to unusual location of the tumor, the long duration (25 years) of its existence and the unique surgical approach for the tumor excision.

    CONCLUSION:

    Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and adjuvant radiotherapy is indicated in select cases.
