Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis. A case report of a localized form?
Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis is a rare soft-tissue, tumor-like condition that usually arises in children. We report a case characterized by localized lesions and very slow progression. We postulate the existence of two distinct forms of juvenile hyaline fibromatosis--a localized form with very slow growth and a diffuse form with large and rapidly growing tumors.
