Case Characteristics: We report a case of BFH due to its rarity of age, location and association with insect bite which was diagnosed with FNAC and confirmed with histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Intervention/Outcome: The child is disease free for 3 years after surgical excision of swelling. Message: Though rare, neoplastic lesions can arise in sites of insect bite and trauma.
