Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is a non-cancerous fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumor, a type of soft tissue tumor, that typically presents as a painless, irregular nodule most frequently in hands and feet of children and teenagers.[1][2] It is often adherent to tendon and aponeurosis.[1]
The cause is unknown.[1] Up to 50% may recur years after resection.[1]
The condition is rare.[1]
Naming
The World Health Organization, 2020, reclassified calcifying aponeurotic fibroma nodules as a specific benign type of the fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors.[3]
