Fibrous hamartoma of infancy is an uncommon fibroproliferative lesion that occurs only in infancy and childhood. It predominantly affects healthy boys and can be found in almost any subcutaneous tissue. The tumor is most frequently found in the axilla, followed by shoulder, inguinal area, and chest wall. This tumor can cause much concern about malignancy because it is firm and may be fixed to underlying tissues. Despite the occasional local recurrence, the clinical course is benign and the prognosis is excellent. Treatment is by local excision. The diagnosis is made by the characteristic histologic features. In order to avoid the misdiagnosis of malignancy and unnecessary radical therapy, both surgeon and pathologist must be familiar with this entity. We report a case of fibrous hamartoma of infancy in a 4-year-old boy in gluteal region.
婴儿纤维性错构瘤是一种罕见的纤维增生性病变，仅发生于婴儿期和儿童期。它主要影响健康男孩，几乎可出现在任何皮下组织中。该肿瘤最常发生于腋窝，其次为肩部、腹股沟区和胸壁。由于其质地坚硬且可能与深部组织粘连，这种肿瘤常引发对恶性肿瘤的担忧。尽管偶尔会局部复发，但临床过程为良性，预后良好。治疗方法是局部切除。诊断依据其特征性的组织学表现。为避免误诊为恶性肿瘤及不必要的根治性治疗，外科医生和病理学家都必须熟悉这一疾病。我们报告一例4岁男孩发生于臀区的婴儿纤维性错构瘤病例。
