MR imaging of calcifying aponeurotic fibroma of the thigh

Hyo-Sung Kwak et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2004 May.

Abstract

Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is a rare, benign soft-tissue proliferation that occurs in the distal extremities in children. Because this lesion has a tendency to recur after surgical resection, MR imaging to determine the extent of the tumor for surgical planning is optimal. We report the MR findings in a 4-year-old boy with a calcifying aponeurotic fibroma of the thigh.
