Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (CAF) is a rare soft tissue tumour which occurs mainly in children and adolescents. It usually involves the distal portion of the extremities, i.e. the hands and feet. A 2-year-old child with a large CAF is presented. The case was unusual in view of its large size (10 × 7 × 5 cm), dense calcification in such a young child, and because it was situated in the substance of gluteus maximus muscle. There has been no recurrence at 3-year follow-up.
钙化性腱膜纤维瘤（CAF）是一种罕见的软组织肿瘤，主要发生于儿童和青少年。它通常累及四肢远端，即手和脚。本文报告一例患有巨大CAF的2岁儿童。鉴于其体积巨大（10×7×5 cm）、在如此年幼的儿童中出现致密钙化以及肿瘤位于臀大肌实质内，该病例较为罕见。3年随访期间未出现复发。
