Abstract:
We report a case of fibroma of tendon sheath developed in a 22-year-old woman. The tumor of about 5 years duration was protruding on the volar surface of her 4th finger tip. It was well-demarcated rubbery-hard, and immovable on palpation. The surface on the tumor was smooth and had some telangiectasias. It was asymptomatic and non-tender. The histopathologic findings of excised specimen revealed well-demarcated lobulated mass with widely-spacd: fibroblasts in a hyalinized collagenous matrix. The characteristic slit-like spaces were found in hypoellular and fasciitis-like region. After excision, local recurrence has not been observed for about one and a half years of follow-up period.
