Summary
Infantile digital fibromatosis, a rare benign tumor in infants, presents as lesions on the digits. This case highlights two asynchronous toe lesions in an 8-month-old, emphasizing characteristic cellular inclusions.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Pathology
- Dermatopathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Infantile digital fibromatosis (IDF), also known as inclusion body fibromatosis, is a rare, benign fibroproliferative neoplasm.
- This condition characteristically affects the digits of infants and has a potential for recurrence.
Observation:
- A case report of an 8-month-old infant presenting with two separate, asynchronous lesions on the toes is detailed.
- The lesions were located on the digits, a common site for this condition.
Findings:
- The hallmark morphologic feature of paranuclear inclusions within tumoral cells was observed.
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of infantile digital fibromatosis.
Implications:
- This case contributes to the understanding of the clinical presentation and morphology of infantile digital fibromatosis.
- Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for appropriate management of this benign but potentially recurrent condition.
