ABSTRACT
Fibroma of the tendon sheath is a benign soft tissue tumor and this mostly occurs in the distal portion of an extremity. The tumor usually appears as a slow-growing, firm, painless, small nodule in association with tendons and tendon sheaths. Histopathologically, it shows a well-demarcated nodule that consists of haphazardly-arranged, fibroblast-like spindle cells that are embedded in a dense collagenous matrix. A 52-year-old woman presented with a tender, solitary, 2.5x2.0 cm-sized, subcutaneous nodule on the right elbow. The skin biopsy specimen showed that the well-circumscribed tumor contained densely-arranged collagen areas with spindle cells and slit-like vascular channels. We herein report on a rare case of fibroma of a tendon sheath on the right elbow.
