“…3 High-frequency ultrasonography shows heterogeneous hyperechoic, avascular masses with surface lobulation and extrinsic cortical erosion; this modality has been reported to be useful in determining the diagnosis of calcifying aponeurotic fi broma. 4 CT and magnetic resonance imaging scans do not help in the diagnosis (as was so in the present case). Th e CT scan may show a soft -tissue mass with calcifi cation, while on an MRI scan, the tumor has low signal intensity compared to muscles.…”

Calcifying (Juvenile) Aponeurotic Fibroma of the Scalp

et al. 2011

Calcifying aponeurotic fi broma is a benign tumor with a predilection for distal parts of the extremities; it is very rare in the head and neck region. It commonly aff ects young patients-hence the term juvenile in the name. It is fi broblastic in origin and considered a cartilage analogue of fi bromatosis, but its exact etiology remains unknown. Clinically, this tumor needs to be diff erentiated from fi bromatosis, nodular fasciitis, chondroma, schwannoma, and rheumatoid nodule. A 24-year-old woman presented with swelling in the forehead for the previous 6 months. Wide surgical excision of the lesion was performed, and histopathologic examination revealed a calcifying aponeurotic fi broma. We reviewed the literature on this rare clinical entity and present our hypothesis on its etiology.

“…Therefore, pertinent corroborative information is required in view of the reported lack of bone involvement in CAF [1,2]. However, tumors consistent with CAF have been described in the cranial bones of dogs and also in the bones of humans [7][8][9][10]. It has been suggested by proponents of CAF that at the point of insertion of Sharpey's fibers into the bone or cartilage surfaces, there occurs subtle transition from a fibrous connective tissue composition to one of fibrocartilage [11].…”

Cartilage analogue of fibromatosis is a relatively common tumor in the palms and soles of young children and adolescence. The characteristic histological finding of the tumor is the differentiation toward cartilage formation within a background of fibromatosis-like growth. Therefore, the tumor may cause potential diagnostic problems in the maxillofacial bones where it has not been described. The purpose of the present report is to describe the imaging characteristics, histological and immunohistochemical features of an extremely rare case of cartilage analogue of fibromatosis in the maxillary alveolar bone of a 25-year-old female.

“…On radiography, CAF appears as a soft tissue mass, with or without fine stippled calcification ( 2 , 3 ). Signs of bone involvement on radiograph, such as scalloping of the cortex and adjacent bone erosion, may be seen ( 4 , 5 ). However, radiography is not sufficient for developing a differential diagnosis.…”

Calcifying Aponeurotic Fibroma of the Dorsum of the Foot in a Four-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report With Radiographic and Magnetic Resonance Findings

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (CAF) is a rare, benign fibroblastic tumor that typically occurs in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, in children and adolescents. Due to its infiltrative nature, this tumor can mimic malignancy on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and has a predilection for local recurrence. There are very few reports in the literature that describe features of CAF on MRI, especially those arising in the foot. We present an unusual case of a CAF affecting the dorsum of the foot in a four-year-old boy.
