In 2 girls aged 5 months swellings were noted shortly after birth, on the plantar surface of the anteromedial parts of both heels and the left heel, respectively. On an expectative management, the swellings grew with the feet, without causing symptoms. The clinical picture and characteristic location led to the diagnosis of plantar fibromatosis. In infants it is a rare disorder which frequently shows spontaneous regression and does not behave aggressively. To avoid unnecessary investigations or even surgery and to reassure the parents, it is important to recognize this condition in infants.
