Precalcaneal congenital fibrolipomatous hamartoma is an underreported benign entity that has been described in the literature under different names. We present two cases of unilateral fibrolipomatous hamartoma (FLH) appearing in a unique location: on the posterior aspect of the foot overlying the heel. We propose the term FLH of the skin as a more inclusive and less confusing term for this condition, thus allowing distinction with FLH arising from neural tissue. High-frequency ultrasonography appears to be a useful diagnostic tool that may avoid unnecessary biopsies for this condition.
