Abstract
Fibro-osseous pseudotumors of the hand are rare lesions in children. Clinical and radiological presentation can be challenging and simulating a malignant neoplasm. We present the case of a 5-year-old boy with a rapidly growing soft tissue tumor of the right palm. Diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy and the patient was treated with a tissue preserving resection. There was no evidence for recurrence 1 year after the operation.
