CLINICAL HISTORY: A 7 month-old, healthy appearing, well-nourished male presented with a recurring and rapidly enlarging nodule on the right middle finger that parents stated was cosmetically disfiguring. The nodule had previously been excised by a hand surgeon when the patient was 2 months old. The mother was concerned about the recurrence and prognosis.
