Plantar fascia is a thin fibrous band on the plantar surface of the foot and forms a strong mechanical linkage between the calcaneum and the toes. Plantar fasciitis represent degeneration, chronic inflammation and/or fibroblastic proliferation of plantar fascia (Ahuja, 2007). It results from microtears of the plantar fascia with subsequent inflammatory response perpetuated by repeated strain through weight bearing (Genc et al, 2005).

HCC is a primary tumour of the human liver (Lau, 2007). The liver is predominantly made up of parenchymal cells called hepatocytes (Tortora & Grabowski, 2005). HCC is defined as a primary malignancy of the Hepatocyte cells which most frequently, but not exclusively, arises in the setting of liver cirrhosis (Stuart, 2008) (Bruix, 2001) (Forner et al, 2006) (Giannini et al, 2004) (Llovet et al, 2003) (Habib, 2000).
