ABSTRACT
Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is an unusual, but well-characterized soft tissue tumor that typically involves the extremities. The age at presentation ranges from birth to 64 years of age. However, the majority of cases are seen in children with a median age of 12 years. Histologically, this tumor shows a poorly circumscribed, fibrotic mass extending into fat with areas of dense hyalinization, fibrosis and scattered calcification. Due to its infiltrative growth, calcifying aponeurotic fibroma has a high rate of local recurrence after surgical treatment. We recently encountered a 53-year-old Korean man with a solitary, hyperkeratotic, subcutaneous nodule on the sole of his foot. After histopathologic examination, the lesion was diagnosed as calcifying aponeurotic fibroma. During the follow-up period for 3 months, there was no increase in size of the lesion.
