Heel pain is one of the most common presenting complaints to the foot and ankle specialist. There are many causes for subcalcaneal heel pain, including biomechanical, traumatic, those related to several types of arthritides and tumors, and anatomic causes. This article describes pathologic conditions of the heel, concentrating on tumors and arthritides.
Tumor necrosis factor receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autosomic-dominant periodic syndrome associated with mutations in the extracellular domain of the 55 kDa TNF receptor. Clinically, episodes of severe myalgia, arthralgia/arthritis, sterile peritonitis, scrotal inflammation, serositis, migratory rash, conjunctivitis, and recurrent fever are characteristic. We describe a 9-year-old African American boy with the P46L mutation of the TNF receptor who presented with 2 previously unrecognized manifestations: sacroiliitis and myocardiopathy, both showing a reversible course.
