We describe a 44‐year‐old man with fibroma of tendon sheath. The tumor originated in the foot and developed an ulcer during its course. It was totally excised, and the defect was reconstructed by full‐thickness skin graft. The patient has been free of any recurrence during the follow‐up period of one year. Fibroma of tendon sheath rarely occurs in the foot, and, to our best knowledge, this condition with ulceration is the first case reported.
