ABSTRACT

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (HFI) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. It is presented as a single subcutaneous tumor in children in the first two years of life. The lesion has a characteristic morphology with a triphasic organoid growth pattern, and the treatment of choice is local excision. We report a case with the distinctive histologic appearance of HFI and cutaneous changes (dilatation of eccrine glands) and a extensive immunohistochemestry study. Finally, differential diagnosis of fibrous tumors of infancy are discussed
