Fibroma of a tendon-sheath presenting as toe deformity.

We describe a rare manifestation fibroma in a tendon-sheath in an 83-year-old man. The patient complained initially of a slowly progressive spreading, apart of the right second and third toes. A mass was found in the plantar aspect of the foot. It was completely excised at surgery. Histological examination revealed sparse spindle or stellate cells with slit-like vessels in the dense collagenous matrix. There had been no recurrence at follow-up 17 months after surgery.
