The authors present a case of atypical heel pain masquerading as plantar fasciitis. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism-induced stress fracture of the calcaneus. The clinical entity of hyperparathyroidism and its manifestations in the skeletal system are presented, as well as a review of stress fractures and pertinent imaging studies.
