title: Atypical palmar fibromatosis with giant fibrous nodule: a case report.
abstract: We present an unusual case of palmar fibromatosis. A 62-year-old man had a giant fibrous nodule in the deep fascia of the right palm without any pretendinous cord or flexion deformity at the metacarpophalangeal joint. Primarily soft-tissue tumor and palmar fibromatosis were considered as differential diagnosis of nodular mass but finally the latter was confirmed histologically after resection of the giant nodule.
