Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma: a case report
Latin Abstract :
Calcified aponeurotic fibroma is a rare benign fibrous tumor with well-characterized histopathologic features. It is usually seen in distal extremities of children and youngsters. A 23-year-old male patient underwent surgical excision of a free, painless soft tissue mass that developed in the palmar aspect of the left hand. Histopathologic examination showed fibroblastic proliferation areas and dense collagenous stroma surrounding calcifications and chondroid metaplasia. The diagnosis was made as calcified aponeurotic fibroma. No recurrences were detected within a year follow-up.
