A case of infantile digital fibromatosis with an unusual onset is reported. A Japanese
girl, with a simple syndactyly of the right ring and little fingers, had an operation
at the age of 2 1/2 years. Three months after the operation, multiple nodules appeared
at the skin graft edge. The nodules were excised but soon recurred. When the patient
was 8 years old, a large-scale excision of the tumors was performed. Intracytoplasmic
inclusion bodies were shown by phosphotungstic acidhematoxylin stain, and the case
was diagnosed as infantile digital fibromatosis.
