Do I Have a Soft Tissue Issue?

Soft Tissue issues may include masses and cysts in the soft tissue. The vast majority of tumors in the foot are benign. Attention to their location and source is the key to preventing these tumors from reoccurring.
Precise dissection of the soft tissue isolating the affected tissue is important in the successful removal of the tumor and healing of the surrounding area.
