Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis: a case report

J Pediatr Orthop B. 1998 Jul;7(3):235-8. doi: 10.1097/01202412-199807000-00012.

Abstract

The authors present a 9-year-old girl with a juvenile hyaline fibromatosis observed before any treatment and after surgical releases. The disorder showed impressive clinical features both concerning the size of the dermal nodules and the degree of limitation of involved joints. Although the follow-up was short, we emphasize the great role surgery can play in reaching very satisfying results, both aesthetically and functionally.
