Article Synopsis
- Infantile digital fibromatosis (IDF) is a rare, benign tumor seen in infants and children, usually appearing as a single nodule made up of spindle cells in the skin of the fingers and toes.
- Diagnosis often involves a biopsy, and treatment options generally include observation, corticosteroid injections, or surgical removal of the tumor.
- Due to its rarity, many healthcare providers have limited experience with IDF, prompting a detailed review of its presentation, diagnosis, and treatment methods.

Case Presentation: In this case, a 20-year-old woman from the Philadelphia area in the USA presented with onychomadesis secondary to acute paronychia following a "Russian" manicure.
