| Popis: | A case of proliferative fasciitis in the forearm of a 7-year-old child is presented. The lesion is composed of spindle cells and large bizarre ganglionlike cells in a collagenous matrix with some myxoid areas. The cells contain intracytoplasmic inclusions of collagen. The cytoplasm stains for vimentin, and the cells have ultrastructural features of myofibroblasts. This is the second case reported of proliferative fasciitis occurring in a child, and the importance of distinguishing this lesion from childhood neoplasms with a similar appearance is discussed. |
