Abstract

A benign, slowly progressive, nontender mass in children should raise the possibility of CFP or IMT. Punctate calcifications within the mass are a unique feature of CFP. The diagnosis can be confirmed by histology that shows a dense hyalinized matrix, spindle cells, psammoma bodies, and the absence of markers for smooth muscles. CFP has an excellent prognosis, surgical resection is the treatment, and further intervention is unnecessary.
