Lipofibromatosis in a two-year-old girl: a case report.

Lipofibromatosis is a recently described rare benign soft tissue tumor of childhood. We report a case of a lipofibromatosis in a two-year-old girl with a painless mass on the plantar aspect of her right foot who developed local recurrence eight months after surgery. The tumor has a high rate of non-destructive recurrence, but there is no metastatic potential. Complete surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment. Nevertheless, the rareness of its presentation should be taken into account by the pediatric pathologist, and considerable surgical judgment is of great importance.
