| Sumario: | Forefoot pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint but is rarely caused by plantar adventitious bursitis. A 27-year-old female had right lateral forefoot pain for three weeks and was referred for an ultrasound examination, revealing an anechoic mass on top of the flexor digiti minimi brevis tendon. Two weeks after oral medication and a prescription of rocker-bottom shoes, her pain totally disappeared. In conclusion, ultrasound is helpful in differentiating various causes of forefoot pain, which, in this case, facilitated the detection and management of plantar adventitious bursitis. |
