Apart from intermetatarsal bursitis, superficial palpable bursitis can occur in the midfoot over a hypertrophied peroneal tubercle and in the forefoot involving the adventitial bursae beneath the metatarsal heads (Ashman et al. 2001). A distended bursa underlying the head of the first metatarsal is often observed in association with hallux valgus (Schweitzer et al. 1999). It can be recognized as a focal mass with mixed echotexture (containing fluid and hypertrophied synovium) interrupting the subcutaneous fat plane focally (Fig. 17.57).
