Abstract

A case of congenital generalized fibromatosis with multiple bone involvement is reported. The disease is often fatal, and often involves many systems with fibro-blastic lesions which are present at birth or shortly thereafter. Our case is the fourth reported case with extensive bone involvement. All of the lesions in our case have completely or almost completely disappeared during the first eighteen months of life.
