4 Cases of Infantile Dermal Fibromatosis

Abstract

In a period of recent three years, a group of small fibrous tumors, occurred in the fingers and toes in children, have been treated in our hospital.
All of them have been located in the dorsal subdermal tissues of the terminal phalanges and showed a tendency to recur locally after simple excision.
On the basis of their age distribution, anatomic site, and histological feature, they were classified as Infantile Dermal Fibromatosis (Enzinger, 1965). None of them have been metastasized in any parts.
