Fibroma of the Tendon Sheath of the Finger in a 6-year-old Girl: A Case Report
Article in several languages: español | English
Abstract
We report a case of tendon sheath fibroma, a rare benign tumor of young adults aged 20 to 40 and extraordinary in pediatric patients. The fibroma was at the volar side of the middle phalanx of the third finger of a 6-year-old girl. The diagnosis relied on the histological study because ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging studies were inconclusive. Even though marginal resection is the usual treatment, the local recurrence rate is high.
