These masses can arise from various tissues in the foot, including muscle, fat, or nerve tissue. Types range from ganglion cysts and plantar fibromas to more rare and potentially serious tumors. The cause of these masses can be multifactorial, often involving genetic, traumatic, or unknown origins.
