Abstract

Juvenile Hyalin Fibromatosis (JHF) or systemic hyalinosis is a rare, sporadic or hereditary disorder characterized by skin lesions, gingival hypertrophy, muscle weakness, and flexion contractures of large joints. There is still dispute in its pathogenesis and treatment. We described two cases with adult form of Juvenile Hyalin Fibromatosis localized in the foot and discussed the local control we achieved by surgery.
