Introduction: Piezogenic pedal papules (PPP), which are forms of responses to internal. mechanical pressure, appear on the wrists and especially on feet. Repeated trauma or an. inherent collagen defect mainly as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome can cause pain symptoms in heels.

Piezogenic papules are common, soft, skin-coloured papules found on the feet and wrists. They result from herniation of fat through the dermis. People of all ages, gender and ethnicities are susceptible to piezogenic papules. They are commonly observed in overweight or obese women. They are also associated with underlying connective tissue diseases such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, flat feet, and excessive weight-bearing exercise.

Piezogenic pedal papules, which range in size from. 2 mm to 2 cm, are mostly asymptomatic and noticed. incidentally. However, people with repeated trauma or an. inherent collagen defect such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. can experience some pain symptoms.

Piezogenic pedal papules (PPPs), which are forms of. responses to internal mechanical pressure and weakness. in the connective tissue in the dermis, appear commonly. over the medial aspect of the heel, but in some cases on. the wrists mostly in bilateral and benign forms.

Piezogenic papules are usually diagnosed clinically because of the following features: 1  Papules resolve when the patient is non-weight bearing. 2  Papules can usually be compressed.  They mostly occur over posterior and lateral border of the heels.

Piezogenic papules may be more common in people who are overweight, people with flat feet, and people who spend significant time on their feet. Adult piezogenic pedal papules are more common in women than in men.

No specific causes are attributed to the herniation. The condition has occurred within families,but most cases are believed to be sporadic. Piezogenic papules may be more common in people who are overweight, as well as in individuals with orthopedic problems including flat feet. However, they also can occur in newborns with no clear predisposition. Piezogenic papules may occur more commonly in persons with collagen disorders such as EDS.

However, as can be seen in our cases, in old patients with. heel pain, PPP can cause severe pain. For this reason, in. the diagnosis regarding the causes of the heel pain in old. population, PPP may be seen as one of the significant. factors.

In both patients, the papules were tender to pressure. and differed both in location and in the severity of the. pain (VAS score 9) from nodules found in plantar fasciitis. Also, lateral foot X-rays and ultrasonography showed. no abnormality in terms of plantar fasciitis and epin. calcanei.
