Plantar fibromatosis. Patient with a painless subcutaneous nodule at the medial aspect of the foot sole. Ultrasound image (a) along the sagittal plane displays a hypo-echogenic ill-defined lesion at the medial bundle of the plantar aponeurosis, with a length of 11 mm. Long-axis T1-WI (b) and short-axis T2-WI (c) clearly demonstrate the relationship between the lesion (arrow) and the plantar aponeurosis (arrowheads). The fibromatosis is iso-intense to muscle on T1-WI and slightly hyperintense on T2-WI. The nodular extracorporeal structure (asterisk) is an imaging marker placed on the skin for easy lesion localisation
