Recurring digital fibroma of childhood.
A recurrent digital fibroma of childhood is reported. This case illustrates difficulties in the management of these recurrent tumors. Despite tumor-free margins on the excised tumors, recurrence occurred at other sites. Recurrences or new primary lesions are reported in 75% of the cases. Because of the rare tendency of these lesions to regress and the high recurrence rate, an individualized approach based on lesion location and behavior is recommended.
