Paediatric fibroblastic tumours are rare neoplasms, of which cranial fasciitis is the most common. We present a case of a male 7-year-old suffering from a cranial tumour preceded by a mild trauma. The tumour recurred despite radical resection within 8 months. Histologically, neither tumour could be classified as any published pathological entity. Both lesions were described as cellular fibroblastic neoplasms; in addition, the recurrent tumour featured a prominent myxoid matrix. In the 12 months following resection of the second tumour, no further disease recurrence has occurred.
