Abstract :
Stress fracture is a common diagnosis of pain in the lower extremity in the lack of obvious trauma history. Nowadays, with better
recognition of its pathophysiology and advanced diagnostic facilities, it is more convenient to distinguish stress fracture. But in
some cases, it is troublesome to differentiate stress fracture from serious conditions such as neoplasm. The current case report
described an unusual case of proximal fibula stress fracture presenting with mass and local tenderness without history of trauma
or vigorous activity.
