Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (CAF) is a very rare tumor of the extremities, which can be difficult to diagnose due to its wide cyto-architectural pattern. We herein report the clinicopathologic features of a case of CAF localized on the dorsal face of the foot in a 5-year-old male child, diagnosed by needle core biopsy. Differential diagnostic problems are discussed. The present case emphasizes that the diagnosis of CAF can be confidentially rendered on core needle biopsy if the main morphological components of this tumor are concurrently present; however, before making the diagnosis of CAF, the clinical and radiological context should be considered.
钙化性腱膜纤维瘤（CAF）是一种非常罕见的四肢肿瘤，由于其广泛的细胞结构模式，可能难以诊断。我们在此报告一例5岁男童足部背侧的CAF病例的临床病理特征，该病例通过针芯活检确诊。讨论了鉴别诊断问题。本病例强调，如果该肿瘤的主要形态学成分同时存在，则针芯活检可确诊CAF；然而，在诊断CAF之前，应考虑临床和放射学背景。
