Fibrous hamartoma of infancy.
Two cases of male infants with masses since birth are presented. The first infant was four months of age, had mass on the medial surface right upper arm while the other infant, who was one year of age, had a mass above left eye. Both masses were present at birth and were slowly growing since then. The masses were excised after clinical and radiological assessments. Histopathological examinations of the masses were reported to be the fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) which is a very rare entity.
