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]
IMF tumors are usually painless, well-encapsulated, rubbery to hard, and freely movable-to-fixed masses. [8] They may be evident at birth in up to 60% of cases [4] but generally go undetected until they [9] are diagnosed in the first year of life, [8] uncommonly in older infants and young (<10 years/old) children, [4] or rarely in older children and adults (one individual was diagnosed with ...
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).

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.

Two weeks after the surgery, he was discharged from the hospital and allowed to go home. Not long after, the seizures started up again and the family was told that Caper would need a second ...
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.

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 ...
