Abstract
Fibrosarcomas make up a small percentage of soft somatic tissue malignancies. Fibrosarcomas of the foot and ankle constitute an even smaller percentage of all reported cases with respect to anatomic locations. The postoperative local recurrence is great, and the diagnosis is often difficult to make because of the similar microscopic presentation of plantar fibromatosis and fibrosarcoma. A case presentation of a plantar fibrosarcoma, after two failed attempts at excision, with a review of the literature, is discussed.
