Eighty cases of calcifying aponeurotic fibroma have been
reported in the literature1 since
this entity was first described, in 1953, by Keasbey2, who called it calcifying
juvenil­e aponeurotic fibroma. We report our experience
in treating this type of tumor in the hand of a child, and we review
the terms that have been used to describe it in the literature.
