The Differential Diagnosis of Juvenile Digital FibromatosisFrom the Medical School of Hannover, West Germany
Juvenile digital fibromatosis is a rare condition in which distinctive benign soft tumours occur in the hands and feet of children and adolescents. If bony involvement is found at presentation a malignant soft tissue tumour must be excluded and extensive investigation is required using plain x-rays, scintigraphy and angiography. Histological examination, however, is the only definitive diagnostic measure. In this paper a case of juvenile digital fibromatosis is presented with a discussion of the differential diagnosis.
