Calcifying aponeurotic fibromas (CAFs) are rare benign tumors that typically develop in the soft tissue of the extremities. We report a case of 64-year-old woman with a CAF in the soft tissue surrounding her left clavicle. A plain radiograph showed an asymmetrical increase in opacity of the left internal clavicular region. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a heterogeneous lesion of the periclavicular soft tissue, with peripheral calcifications, and remodeling of the adjacent clavicular bone. Following ultrasound-guided biopsy and surgical resection of the mass, the final histological diagnosis was made. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a CAF described in the soft tissue adjacent to the clavicle. It is essential to use all the diagnostic methods available (X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, and percutaneous biopsy) to obtain the final diagnosis of this rare disease.
钙化性腱膜纤维瘤(CAFs)是一种罕见的良性肿瘤,通常发生于四肢软组织。我们报告一例64岁女性,其左锁骨周围软组织患有钙化性腱膜纤维瘤。X线平片显示左锁骨内侧区域密度不对称增加。计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像证实锁骨周围软组织存在异质性病变,伴有周边钙化,以及相邻锁骨骨质重塑。在超声引导下对肿块进行活检并手术切除后,做出了最终的组织学诊断。据我们所知,这是第一例描述于锁骨旁软组织的钙化性腱膜纤维瘤病例。使用所有可用的诊断方法(X线、超声、CT、MRI和经皮活检)对于获得这种罕见疾病的最终诊断至关重要。
