title: Recurrence of fibrous hamartoma of infancy excised 14 years after the primary surgery.
abstract: Fibrous hamartoma of infancy is a rare, benign, superficial soft-tissue mass. It usually occurs within the first 2 years of life at the axial regions, upper arms, and external genital areas. There have been some recurrences within the 1st year of the surgery, although no cases have been reported to recur after 1 year. The authors present a recurrent case of fibrous hamartoma of infancy 14 years after the primary surgery, and they show the clinical and histopathological findings.
