Cranial fasciitis of childhood (CFC) is a very uncommon tumour of the scalp, which is almost exclusively observed in the first years of life. It is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts, but its rapid growth rate may resemble a malignant disease. This disease may be suspected from clinical and radiological features, but a definitive diagnosis may be achieved only by pathological examination. We report a case whose onset was in late childhood and whose clinical and radiological characteristics were atypical.
儿童颅骨筋膜炎(CFC)是一种非常罕见的头皮肿瘤,几乎仅在生命的最初几年出现。它是成纤维细胞的良性增生,但其快速生长速度可能类似于恶性疾病。根据临床和放射学特征可能怀疑此病,但只有通过病理检查才能做出明确诊断。我们报告一例发病于儿童晚期且临床和放射学特征不典型的病例。
