title: Florid reactive mesenchymal proliferation.
abstract: Florid reactive mesenchymal proliferation describes a benign soft tissue tumour found in the hand as well as at other sites. The histological appearance and rapid growth of the lesion may lead to an incorrect diagnosis of malignancy. We describe a case in a 79-year-old lady, unusual because of her age at presentation and long history, and review the literature.
