• BACKGROUND
    • Tibialis anterior herniation occurs through a defect in the deep fascial layer of the lower extremity. While this entity is not uncommon, it has been rarely reported in the dermatologic literature.
  • OBJECTIVE
    • To highlight the occurrence of tibialis anterior herniation and its presentation and treatment.
  • METHODS
    • Case report.
  • RESULTS
    • We present a case of tibialis anterior herniation in a patient who presented with asymptomatic nodules in her lower extremities. The nodules were flesh-colored, soft, and compressible with palpation.
  • CONCLUSION
    • The diagnosis of tibialis anterior herniation should be considered in patients with positionally variable subcutaneous nodules, especially in the lower extremities. It is caused by a defect in the deep fascial layer and often involves the lower extremities. In addition, knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment is essential for both proper management and/or surgical referral.
