Abstract
Secretan's disease is a rare disorder that has, to date, only been reported in the hand. After minor trauma, edema and hyperplasia of the hand may result, and pathological evaluation demonstrates thick fibrous tissue. We present the first report of Secretan's disease involving the foot in a 15-year-old athletic teenage girl with a remote history of blunt trauma, and review the relevant literature.
