Childhood Desmoplastic Fibroblastoma (Collagenous Fibroma) with a 12-Year Follow-up

Abstract

We report the first case of a childhood desmoplastic fibroblastoma (collagenous fibroma). The tumor was located in subcutaneous tissue of the left buttock in a 5-year-old boy. No recurrence has been observed after 12 years, the longest follow-up available.
