J Pediatr Surg. 2011 Mar;46(3):e11-2. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2010.10.021.

Abstract

Precalcaneal congenital fibrolipomatous hamartoma is a benign condition of infancy that is possibly underdiagnosed because of the lack of reports in the literature. Lesions become evident after the first months of life and may be troublesome to parents and physicians. Patients are frequently referred to the pediatric surgeon for evaluation. We report and discuss 2 typical cases.
