We present a 46-year-old man with a fibroma of the tendon sheath of the left radiocarpal joint and bony involvement of the scaphoid and the radial styloid. Bony involvement of a fibroma of the tendon sheath is rare and has been reported only four times to our knowledge.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

December 2024

From the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Children's National Hospital, Washington, DC.

Article Synopsis
  • Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is a rare tumor affecting the upper extremities, particularly challenging when it involves deep spaces of the hand.
  • A case study discusses a 9-year-old girl with a growing mass on her palm, diagnosed later due to its deep location and lack of symptoms, which led to a larger than normal size.
  • The girl underwent a careful surgical procedure to remove the tumor while preserving surrounding structures, and at her 1-year follow-up, there were no signs of recurrence.
