Abstract

These tumors, which are probably hamartomas, are characterized as follows: 1) occurrence at birth or during the first years of life (rarely in adults); 2) peculiar histological features; 3) the localization. As for localization, there is a solitary, a multiple, and a generalized type. Although rare, this lesion is the most common fibrous tumor in infancy.
