• Criteria for diagnosis in people:• Hypocellular, unencapsulated, infiltrative mass• Composed of bands of mature fibrous tissue • Deep location and relationship to a musculoponeurotic
system• Diffuse growth with engulfment of muscle fibers
• Unknown etiology• Possibly secondary to trauma
• Prognosis• Variable
