“…In this case, MRI was performed for further characterization of the soft tissue lesion without CT examination because of the suspicion of a soft tissue tumor with no calcification on the plain radiographs. Some cases of CAF have also shown scalloping of the cortex or extrinsic erosion of the adjacent bone (1,2). In this case, there was fine cortical erosion due to the soft tissue mass.…”

“…Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (CAF) is an uncommon benign tumor and a locally aggressive fibroblastic lesion that was first described by Keasbey in 1953 as juvenile aponeurotic fibroma (1). In most cases, CAF is commonly seen or occurs in young patients with a peak incidence between the ages of 8 and 14 years; although, there are documented cases that ranged from birth to 64 years old (2).…”

Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (CAF) is an uncommon benign tumor and a locally aggressive fibroblastic lesion. It commonly affects the palmar side of the hand and fingers, and the soles of the feet. The typical clinical manifestations are known as a poorly circumscribed, slow-growing, and asymptomatic firm mass. Most CAFs usually reveal low to intermediate or isointensity on T1-weighted images, and strong heterogeneous enhancement. However, various signal intensities on T2-weighted images have been reported depending on the degree of hypocellularity or the amount of calcification or collagen within the tumor. This report provides the radiographic and MRI finding of CAF arising in uncommon site, the knee region, of a 19-year-old male who presented with a painful and palpable mass.

“…The original description of calcifying (juvenile) aponeurotic fibroma included a small number of cases arising on the palms and soles of children 30 ; since then, a significant number of reported cases have arisen in older ages and at nonacral body sites. [31][32][33] The tumor presents as a solitary, asymptomatic, poorly circumscribed, fixed, firm mass that does not adhere to the skin or cause contractures.…”

“…[31][32][33] The tumor presents as a solitary, asymptomatic, poorly circumscribed, fixed, firm mass that does not adhere to the skin or cause contractures. 30 Calcifications can be seen on x-ray examination and can be detected grossly as a gritty texture. 24 The histopathologic picture is that of a fibromatosis-like lesion with two major differences 1 : islands of calcification that are surrounded by 2 plumper, relatively epithelioid cells (Figure 9).…”

This group of biologically diverse entities is united by topographic localization to the hands and feet. Categorizing tumors by body site narrows the differential into a short list of possibilities that can facilitate accurate and rapid diagnosis. The goal of this review is to provide a practical approach to soft tissue tumors of acral locations for clinicians, pathologists, and researchers alike. What ensues in the following text is that tight coupling of the clinical picture and histopathologic findings should produce the correct diagnosis, or at least an abbreviated differential. The salient clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features are presented alongside current treatment recommendations for each entity.
