Abstract:
Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor that primarily occurs in children and adolescents and has a strong predilection for the distal portion of the extremities and has a tendency to recur. A case of calcifying aponeurotic fibroma arising in the tip of 2nd digit of right hand of 24-year-old woman was presented. The lesion was solitary, 0.5X0.5cm sized, mildly tender, erythematous papule. Microscopic finding showed poorly circumscribed proliferation of dense fibrous tissue containing epihelioid-like fibroblasts, islands of metaplastic chondroid differentiation with focal calcification.
