Abstract

Pseudocysts, lipomas, infarcts and simple cysts of the calcaneus are described as different entities in the medical literature. However, some evolutions or associations may suggest a relationship which is not yet demonstrated in all cases. The aim of this article is to describe each lesion and emphasize their different characteristics that may suggest a relationship between them.
