Abstract

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) is a rare entity with a benign nature. The typical clinical features are a single, slowly growing, painless mass on the trunk that appears within the first 2 years of life. We report a 13-month-old boy who presented with a plaque on the lower back since 4 months of age. The plaque had gradually become larger and firm, and hyperhidrosis and hypertrichosis were noticed. No visible connection between the spinal cord and the lesion was found in radiologic studies, indicating a disease other than spinal dysraphism. Histopathological findings showed well-defined fibrous trabeculae, mature adipose tissue, and primitive mesenchymal cells, all consistent with FHI. This is the first case of FHI presenting with hyperhidrosis and hypertrichosis reported in Korea.
