Case report reveals plantar angioleiomyoma mimicking a refractory foot corn, highlighting the utility of Doppler ultrasonography and histopathology for accurate diagnosis.
Plantar angioleiomyoma may mimic a refractory hyperkeratotic lesion such as a corn. Progressive enlargement, persistent weight‐bearing pain, and failure of keratolytic therapy should prompt further evaluation. Doppler ultrasonography can help identify a deep vascular tumor and guide definitive excision, and histopathological examination remains essential for definitive diagnosis.
