title: A lipoma causing separation of toes in the second web space of the foot.
abstract: Lipomas are common and benign soft tissue neoplasms which are composed of fat cells. These tumors often develop where adipose tissue is present; however, they can be rarely found in the foot. In this article, we present a 55-year-old male case with a lipoma leading to separating toes in the second web space of the foot and mechanical discomfort.
