[Lipofibromatosis in a 6-year-old girl: a case report].
Lipofibromatosis is a typical soft tissue lesion of childhood which is most likely underdiagnosed. The case of a 6-year-old girl with a palmar tumor is presented. The lesion showed a typical fascicular growth patter into the fatty tissue. Differential diagnosis includes fibrous hamartoma of infancy. Lipofibromatosis is a benign disease but recurrences are not unusual.
