Abstract
1. Three typical cases of recurring digital fibroma of infancy are reported, with a follow-up of three to four years. In each case excision of the tumours during the first year of life was followed by recurrence and then by some degree of slow spontaneous resolution, in one case complete. 2. A strictly conservative approach is recommended for three reasons : the difficulty of complete excision, the tendency to spontaneous regression and the facts that no case of metastasis and no case of persistence into adult life have yet been reported. 3. Cytoplasmic inclusion bodies could not be demonstrated in the biopsy material from these cases, nor any virus.
