  • Title: [Recurrent digital fibromatosis in children].
    Author: Sangüeza P, Jove N.
    Journal: Med Cutan Ibero Lat Am; 1983; 11(5):307-10. PubMed ID: 6366387.
    Abstract:
    We present two cases of recurrent digital fibromatosis, one of them presented lesions since birth, aun the other one since seven months of age. The first case was treated surgically, with relapses and marked deformities. The second one underwent only biopsy. Histopathologic examination showed active fibroblasts, in whorl disposition, and intracytoplasmic inclusions in both cases. By its natural evolution, we believe that recurrent infantile digital fibromatosis has an initial stage, a tumoral or hyperplastic stage, and finally spontaneous evolution, which explains the fact that it is not found in adults.
