title: [Juvenile aponeurotic fibroma. A case report with a review of the literature].
abstract: Juvenile aponeurotic fibroma is a rare benign tumour which occurs mainly in young patients under 20 years of age and especially during childhood. Clinical presentation is a unique, hard and painless tumour of the palm or sole. The treatment commonly accepted for this locally recurrent tumour is complete excision with function preservation. In this paper, we report on a case of juvenile aponeurotic fibroma of the thenar area with a thickening of the first metacarpal bone shaft. Bone involvement in juvenile aponeurotic fibroma is a very rare condition. We only found one report of a comparable case in literature.
