Abstract :
Infantile digital fibromatosis is a rare benign asymptomatic nodular proliferation of fibrous tissue occurring almost exclusively on the dorsal and lateral aspects of the fingers or the toes and starts mostly in early months of life. A little more than hundred cases have been described in literature. We report such a case in a 3-year-old child, in whom, the disorder started in first year of life and restricted only to the fingers of the hand. A brief review of the literature is also presented
