Infantile digital fibromatosis (IDF), also termed inclusion body fibromatosis or Reye's tumor, usually occurs as a single, small, asymptomatic, nodule in the dermis on a finger or toe [1] of infants and young children. [2] IMF is a rare disorder with approximately 200 cases reported in the medical literature as of 2021. [3]
Diffuse infantile fibromatosis is a rare condition affecting infants during the first three years of life. This condition is a multicentric infiltration of muscle fibers with fibroblasts resembling those seen in aponeurotic fibromas, presenting as lesions and tumors confined usually to the muscles of the arms, neck, and shoulder area [1]: 607 Diffuse infantile fibromatosis is characterized by ...
Infantile myofibromatosis (IMF) is a rare tumor found in 1 in 150,000 to 1 in 400,000 live births. It is nonetheless the most common tumor derived from fibrous connective tissue that occurs primarily in infants and young children.
Subtypes of juvenile fibromatosis include: [3] Infantile myofibromatosis: solitary tumors commonly occurring in the head and neck regions; multiple tumors occurring in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and/or less commonly bones; or, rarely, tumors occurring in an internal organ(s).

Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis, also termed fibromatosis hyalinica multiplex juvenilis and the Murray–Puretic–Drescher syndrome, an autosomal recessive inherited genetic disease. [9] Infantile digital fibromatosis, also termed inclusion body fibromatosis [10] or Reye tumor [11] Fibroma of tendon sheath [12]
Aponeurotic fibroma, also known as calcifying aponeurotic fibroma, and juvenile aponeurotic fibroma is characterized by a lesion that usually presents as a painless, solitary, deep fibrous nodule, often adherent to tendon, fascia, or periosteum, on the hands and feet. [1]
The largest study to date examined 197 cases of FHI. In this study, most individuals presented with a slowly growing, symptomless, subcutaneous mass although rarely these masses were rapidly growing, and/or were tender, painful, warm, and/or were accompanied by skin changes, pigmentation, sweat gland enlargement, and/or increased hair overlaying the tumor.
Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (also known as fibromatosis hyalinica multiplex juvenilis [2] and Murray–Puretic–Drescher syndrome [2]) is a very rare, autosomal recessive disease due to mutations in capillary morphogenesis protein-2 (CMG-2 gene).
