title: Infantile digital fibromatosis.
abstract: The authors report a case series on four patients with infantile digital fibromatosis located on pedal digits. Surgical excision was performed in all cases, with no evidence of recurrence. It is a rare form of juvenile fibromatosis, which presents on the fingers and toes of infants and children. Conservative treatment is recommended by authors owing to the benign nature of the lesion and its tendency to regress, and reports of recurrence after surgical intervention. We believe that surgical excision of lesions in this condition, however, remains an appropriate recommendation for the management of this rare entity.
