  • Title: Recurring digital fibrous tumors of childhood: a review.
    Author: Beckett JH, Jacobs AH.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1977 Mar; 59(3):401-6. PubMed ID: 840560.
    Abstract:
    Two new cases that conform to the clinical and histopathological features of recurring digital fibrous tumor of childhood, described by Reye in 1965, are reported. This tumor, which is considered a distinct entity among the juvenile fibromatoses, characteristically presents in infancy and early childhood, involves only the digits, recurs frequently following surgical excision without metastatic spread, and demonstrates the distinct histopathological finding of intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies within proliferated fibroblasts. This tumor is reviewed with reference to clinical features, histopathology, etiological considerations, and management.
