PLANTAR WART

Plantar warts are common lesions that affect millions of people worldwide. They are caused by the human papilloma virus and may be very painful. Clinically they can mimic Morton`s neuromas or foreign bodies. Sonography is a useful imaging modality that can support both diagnosis and monitoring of the treatment.
