چکیده

Lipofibromatosis is a recently described rare benign soft tissue tumor of childhood. We report a case of a lipofibromatosis in a two-year-old girl with a painless mass on the plantar aspect of her right foot who developed local recurrence eight months after surgery. The tumor has a high rate of non-destructive recurrence, but there is no metastatic potential. Complete surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment.
