Tumors and Oncological Cases

Juvenile aponeurotic fibromas, although locally recurrent, generally do not metastasize.

We report on a patient with a juvenile aponeurotic fibroma of the palm, who returned 5 years after the second local surgical excision with metastatic fibrosarcoma of the lungs and bones.
