We report on a sister and a brother (born to normal consanguineous parents) with joint contractures and osteolytic lesions of bones. The sister had also gingival hyperplasia and skin lesions consisting of multiple tumors of the face, nose, palate, ears, and neck. Histologic examination showed findings of juvenile hyaline fibromatosis. The literature is reviewed, and 15 cases already reported are summarized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
