Infantile digital fibroma (IDF) is a benign tumor of myofibroblasts occurring in infancy and early childhood. IDF occurs almost exclusively on the digits and presents as a firm, red or flesh-colored nodule.

The case illustrates that IDF can present outside of the digits and highlights specific treatment considerations that must be taken at this location.
