Four infants had soft, skin-colored nodules in the midline plantar region of the heels since birth. The lesions were asymptomatic, bilateral, and symmetric, and measured approximately 1 cm in diameter. Their size increased in proportion to the growth of the child. In three infants the lesions persisted at 1 year of age, while in the fourth they remained at age 12 years. The nodules were not associated with any other disease or abnormality. A review of the literature revealed only one Argentinean series comprising four cases, and two communications at international pediatric congresses by French and American authors who reported five and three cases, respectively. We describe four additional cases of precalcaneal congenital fibrolipomatous hamartoma and comment on their histopathologic and ultrastructural characteristics.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
