Abstract

The calcaneal tendon is the frequent site of variable tendinopathies. Abscesses at this site are exceptional. We report the case of a central abscess of the calcaneal tendon in a 37-year-old woman, chronic smoking. The diagnosis was made by imagery. Management was surgical. Samples were taken for cytobacteriological and histological studies. Appropriate antibiotic therapy was administered with complete remission without recurrence at the last follow-up of 6 months. An ultrasound control objectified a continuous tendon with filling of the loss of substance, without collection.
