Giant cell fibroblastoma.
A report of a 1 1/2-year-old male child diagnosed as a case of giant cell fibroblastoma is described and the available literature on this neoplasm is reviewed. The tumor consists of a mixture of spindle cells and multinucleated giant cells in a myxoid or collagenous background. The pathological findings and clinical course suggest that these tumors be classified with fibromatoses of childhood. Removal of the tumor with wide excision is sufficient and these patients do not require any form of chemotherapy.
