Soft tissue tumors of the foot are rare and characterized by their slow and asymptomatic evolution, which delays the time of patient consultation. The authors report an exceptional observation of hallux lipoma with irradiation in the 1st intercommissural space. Magnetic resonance imaging is the technique of choice for investigation in the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors. Surgical treatment allowed the histological diagnosis to be made with certainty and to allow normal and painless footwear. The lipoma, despite its exceptional location in the hallux, should be considered as a differential diagnosis of benign foot tumors.
