Abstract A typical case of congenital generalized fibromatosis (CGF) is presented and the literature on this entity is reviewed. CGF is a rare condition which is probably heritable. It is manifested in infancy. Because of the unusual biological behavior of the fibromata, two clinical courses occur-death, if vital viscera are involved, or regression of the lesions and survival without significant disability. Including the present example, 63 cases have been reported.
