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]
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).

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 ...
Visceral solitary IMF tumors that cause significant tissue injury, are located in vital areas, and/or are life-threatening have been treated by surgical excision or, if surgery is deemed inappropriate, are treated with drugs and/or radiation therapy as indicated in the following section on multiple tumors (with visceral involvement).

Nuchal fibroma [22] Superficial acral fibromyxoma, also termed acral fibromyxoma. [15] Gardner fibroma, a benign proliferation of thick, irregularly arranged collagen bundles with interspersed fibroblasts often association with the genetic disease of familial adenomatous polyposis [23] and its variant, the Gardner's syndrome. [24
Similarities among bland spindle-cell lesions lead to a large number of possibilities in diagnosis, including fibroblastic sarcomas, Gardner fibroma, scar tissue or keloids, superficial fibromatosis, nodular fasciitis, myofibroma, collagenous fibroma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, solitary fibrous tumor, phyllodes tumor, and other conditions ...
Surgery of Ledderhose's disease is difficult because tendons, nerves, and muscles are located very closely to each other. Additionally, feet have to carry heavy load, and surgery might have unpleasant side effects. If surgery is performed, the biopsy is predominantly cellular and frequently misdiagnosed as fibrosarcoma.

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).
