Thinking of infantile desmoid like fibromatosis ?
Although site, sex and age is typical of fibrous hamartoma of infancy, the histology does not show the typical fasicular arrangement of myofibroblastic cells or the whorls of myxoid foci with undifferentiated cells.
Would love to see other opinions.

Arti thinks it might be myofibromatosis (she is visiting with me!)

I thought of monophasic myofibroma.

According to the WHO book this is lipofibromatosis. Although some authors also call this lesion infantile fibromatosis, lipofibromatosis is a prefered term, since it takes into account the mature adipose tissue that is always present. The presence of adipose tissue is the principal difference between lipofibromatosis and desmoid type fibromatosis. The absence of foci of small, round to spindled, imature cells distinguishes lipofibromatosis from fibrous hamartoma of infancy, as Mona emphasized.

I think Romualdo got it right, lipofibromatosis it is :-)

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy vs. lipofibromatosis - good discussion! This is actually a re-excision. It had been previously biopsied and then re-excised.
