title: Juvenile aponeurotic fibroma.
abstract: Among the fibrous tumors of childhood, the juvenile aponeurotic fibroma is rare. After removal, there is a high rate of recurrence in the younger age group. If the recurrence is not aggressive and does not interfere with function, a prolonged observation may be permitted. Otherwise, a more radical extirpation may be needed.
