Giant calcifying aponeurotic fibroma of the hand: an exceptional case

摘要

We present the case of a 59-year-old man with a 6-cm diameter tumor on his left hand of 40 years duration. After radiograph and MRI studies, the tumor was excised. The pathological study revealed an aponeurotic calcifying fibroma that was confirmed after electronic microscopy. The size of this tumor was exceptional. One year postoperatively, there were no signs of local recurrence.
