| Abstract | Calcifying aponeurotic fibromas (CAFs) are rare benign tumors that typically develop in the soft tissue of the extremities. We report a case of 64-year-old woman with a CAF in the soft tissue surrounding her left clavicle. A plain radiograph showed an asymmetrical increase in opacity of the left internal clavicular region. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a heterogeneous lesion of the periclavicular soft tissue, with peripheral calcifications, and remodeling of the adjacent clavicular bone. Following ultrasound-guided biopsy and surgical resection of the mass, the final histological diagnosis was made. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a CAF described in the soft tissue adjacent to the clavicle. It is essential to use all the diagnostic methods available (X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, and percutaneous biopsy) to obtain the final diagnosis of this rare disease. |
