Slide 29)  Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma
Benign, slowly growing, painless mass, usu hands and feet
Usu in first or second decade, has 3 phases.
Early phase: fascicles of spindled fibroblasts, chondroid foci few calcs,
Middle Phase: fibroblasts are arranged in fascicles, chondroid foci with granular calcifications and giant cells
Late phase: calcification increases, less chondroid and cellularity diminishes
This is probably mid-late as there is abundant granular calcification with little chondroid


Slide 30)  Fibrous hamartoma of infancy
Triphasic- Organoid tumor, young pt, usu NOT in hands or feet
Look for mature fat, fibrous, and mesenchymal components
Major ddx is lipofibroma(tosis) but that wont have mesenchymal component and its fat should show immature adipose
