Abstract

We present an unusual case report of an aggressive, recurrent calcifying aponeurotic fibroma of the thumb in an adult man with invasion into the distal and proximal phalanges, the skin, the radial and ulnar neurovascular bundles, and the tendons, treated with amputation and an immediate toe-to-thumb transfer.
