Abstract

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) is a rare benign soft tissue tumor that is composed of an organoid pattern of fibrous tissue and primitive mesenchyme and adipose tissue. The majority of cases of fibrous hamartoma of infancy occur within the first year of life as a single painless subcutaneous nodule. We experienced and report on an uncommon case of protruding fibrous hamartoma of infancy in an 1-year-old girl.
