Zusammenfassung:Infantile digital fibromatosis (recurrent digital fibromatosis) is a rare, benign fibrous growth of childhood. The authors present a case of a 16-year-old child with an infantile digital fibromatosis on the volar surface of the right little finger at the distal interphalangeal joint level. After excision of the tumor, histopathologic diagnosis was shown to be infantile digital fibromatosis. The patient has been free of recurrence for 3 years after surgery. J Pediatr Surg 36:1587-1589.
