Case Discussion
Fibrous hamartoma of infancy is a rare benign subcutaneous tissue tumoral lesion which is seen more than 90% in the first year of life. The precise incidence of disease is unknown and the male:female ratio is 2:1 1.
The presence of a fat-containing soft tissue mass with intersecting fibrous bundles in this age group, indicates fibrous hamartoma of infancy.
