Invasive retrocalcaneal bursitis: a report of three cases.
The authors describe three cases of retrocalcaneal bursitis, characterized by considerable local clinical symptomatology. The diagnosis was made clinically and confirmed histopathologically. In none of these cases, even after several years, did systemic rheumatic disease develop. Removal of the bursa brought about clinical cure.
