Abstract
We present a case of a patient who underwent a modified scarf osteotomy and tumour excision based on a preoperative diagnosis of hallux valgus deformity and accompanying bursitis. Subsequent histopathological examination revealed that the tumour was an angioleiomyoma. While tumours around the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint are typically associated with gouty nodules, infections, or swollen bursa (bursitis) in patients with hallux valgus deformity, the occurrence of soft tissue tumours in this area is rare. Moreover, angioleiomyoma is an even rarer form of soft tissue tumour and is seldom suspected prior to resection. To our knowledge, there have been no reports of angioleiomyoma arising in the first MTP joint. However, it is important to consider the possibility of an atypical tumour in cases where soft tissue masses are present, even in patients with hallux valgus deformity, and to perform at least imaging tests such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging before surgery. This prospect should always be kept in mind.
