We retrospectively reviewed the chart of a patient with recurrent fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI). This lesion presented as a gradually enlarging mass on the child's buttock. The child, a 6-month-old male, was followed up, and at 19 months of age the mass was excised. Eighteen months after the initial operation, a local recurrence was noticed. Forty-one months after the initial operation, reexcision was performed. Both masses demonstrated the characteristic features of FHI, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous mass in young children.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
