Lipofibromatosis is a rare soft tissue tumor which was first clearly described in 2000 by Fetsch et al.[1] The disorder had been considered a type of or closely similar to infantile fibromatosis,[2] aponerotic fibroma (also termed calcifying aponeurotic fibroma),[3] and EWSRI-SMAD3-rearranged fibroblastic tumor (also termed EWSR1-SMAD3-positive fibroblastic tumor).[4]
