Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) is an infrequent benign proliferation of the soft tissues. Ninety one percent of cases occur during the first year of life. FHI is characterized as a subcutaneous lesion with characteristic morphology with a triphasic organoid growth pattern.We present the case of a 6-month-old male infant with a tumor in the medial plantar region of the left foot, which was completely withered. Histopathological study reported a fibrous hamartoma of infancy.Fibrous hamartoma of infancy most frequently affects males. It may be localized at any anatomic site, although 5-10% of cases affect the lower limbs. Few cases are reported in the foot. This is a lesion with a characteristic morphological pattern; however, in small biopsies, its differential diagnosis is important with other fibroadipose lesions for appropriate treatment. Ample surgical resection with lesion-free borders confers a good prognosis for these patients. |
