Causes of plantar fibromas. The exact cause of plantar fibromas is unknown, but there are several factors that could play a role in the development of these growths: Trauma: Damage to the plantar fascia can lead to the formation of plantar fibromas. In fact, the development of excess tissue may actually be an aggressive healing response following injury from overuse or trauma (including puncture wounds).
Plantar fibromatosis is a rare condition in which benign (non-cancerous) tumors called plantar fibromas grow on the bottom (plantar surface) of the foot. The plantar fascia is a long band of connective tissue that runs from the heel to the toes on the bottom of the foot. Plantar fibromas are firm masses that grow slowly along the plantar fascia, and they contain excess collagen or fibrotic tissue. They can be present in one or both feet.
