ABSTRACT

Background: Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) is an infrequent benign proliferation of the soft tissues. Ninety one percent of cases occur during the first year of life. FHI is characterized as a subcutaneous lesion with characteristic morphology with a triphasic organoid growth pattern. Clinical case: We present the case of a 6-month-old breastfed male infant with a tumor in the medial plantar region of the left foot, which was completely withered. Histopathological study reported a fibrous hamartoma of infancy. Conclusions: Fibrous hamartoma of infancy most frequently affects males. It can be localized at any anatomic site, although 5-10% of cases affect the lower limbs. Few cases are reported in the foot. This is a lesion with a characteristic morphological pattern; however, in small biopsies, its differential diagnosis is important with other fibroadipose lesions for its adequate treatment. Ample surgical resection with lesion-free borders confers a good prognosis for these patients.
