Abstract

Infantile digital fibromatosis is a rare benign fibrous tumor that may typically present as a solitary or multiple lesions on the fingers and toes with the histopathological features of fibroblasts with intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies. It commonly presents at the time of birth or it develops within the first year. We reported here on a case of a 12-year-old female with a solitary asymptomatic dome-shaped, firm erythematous nodule on the left 5th finger of 3 years duration. The lesion was histopathological diagnosed as infantile digital fibromatosis. We treated the lesion with a CO2 laser and recurrence was not identified during the 10-month follow-up period.
