“…The clinical description and the histologic characteristics were later refined in a larger case series by Enzinger, in which the name fibrous hamartoma of infancy was coined [8]. In these initial case series, as well as in subsequent ones, these tumors most frequently occur in otherwise healthy males under 1 year old [2,5,6,8,18]. The majority of lesions occur above the waist with a predilection for the shoulder girdle.…”

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy is a rare fibrous tumor of the subcutaneous tissue in infants. While most case reports focus on the unique histologic appearance, which has traditionally been relied upon for diagnosis, there are few reports in the radiology literature of its appearance at MR imaging. In this report, the authors present the case of a 9-month-old male who presented with a soft tissue mass on the shoulder. The MRI findings in benign fibrous hamartoma of infancy parallel the three components of the lesion seen histologically, with an organized arrangement of fat interspersed among heterogeneous soft tissue bands composed of mesenchymal and fibrous tissue. When present, this characteristic appearance may allow the diagnosis to be suggested preoperatively.

“…Hamartomas usually occur as a painless mass and rapid growth may be seen in some cases. Familial characteristics or association with syndromes could not be demonstrated (1,4). Hamartomas can reach a diameter of 15 cm, but they are usually 2.5-5 cm in diameter (3).…”

“…Hamartomas can reach a diameter of 15 cm, but they are usually 2.5-5 cm in diameter (3). Differentiating this tumor-like mass from other pathologies including lymphadenomegaly, sarcoma, lipoma, hemangioma, neurofibroma, dermatofibroma or teratoma by detailed investigation is essential in terms of treatment approach (1,(3)(4)(5).…”

“…Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) is a rare, benign hamartoma, which usually presents as a firm, asymptomatic, slowly growing subcutaneous nodule. 1 Most cases present as solitary masses without epidermal changes, but a few cases have been reported with multiple separate synchronous lesions and overlying skin changes. 2 The histopathological features are composed of three characteristic components in varying proportions: fibrous trabeculae, a nest of undifferentiated round to plump spindle-shaped cells, and mature adipose tissue.…”

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy is a rare benign tumor, which usually occurs within the first year of life. Most cases present as a solitary, painless, skin-colored subcutaneous nodule; multiple lesions are rarely reported. There have also been a few cases which have showed overlying skin changes, including hypertrichosis and alterations in pigmentation. We report a rare case of fibrous hamartoma of infancy in a 6-month-old female who presented as multiple nodules with overlying hypertrichosis on the left buttock. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only two reported cases in the dermatological published work that showed these unusual findings simultaneously.
