Haglund's syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms that occur together when a bony enlargement of the heel known as Haglund's deformity is combined with inflammation of the bursa at the back of the heel, called retrocalcaneal bursitis. The condition is frequently accompanied by inflammation of the Achilles tendon, or Achilles tendinitis, adding to the heel pain it produces.
