Juvenile Hyaline Fibromatosis

Abstract

Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (JHF) is a rare, progressive autosomal recessive disease that`s characterized by papulonodular skin lesions, soft tissue masses, joint contractures, gingival hypertrophy and osteolytic bone lesions. We present here the case of a 2-yr-old boy with JHF along with a review of the relevant literature. This case demonstrates that JHF should be considered in the differential diagnosis when multiple subcutaneous nodules are observed in the face, head and neck.
