Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings of Solitary Infantile Myofibromatosis of the Skull: A Case Report

Solitary infantile myofibromatosis of the skull.

This is the report of a 6 months old boy presenting with a firm, solitary mass on the temporal region, associated with lysis of local bone. Investigations lead to a diagnosis of infantile myofibromatosis (IM). Wide local excision was performed. At one year follow-up, no recurrence was noted.

Solitary infantile myofibromatosis: report of two cases.

Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is an unusual tumor of infancy and early childhood. It typically presents as a solitary or multicentric nodular mass involving skin, soft tissue, bone, or viscera. We describe 2 cases of solitary infantile myofibromatosis (IM) of the soft tissue with typical light microscopic features. The first is a 7-month-old boy who had a rapidly growing tumor of the right thi...

Spontaneous Remission of Solitary-Type Infantile Myofibromatosis

Infantile myofibromatosis is a rare fibrous tumor of infancy. The cutaneous solitary type has typically an excellent prognosis. However, histologically, it is important to rule out leiomyosarcoma, which has a poor prognosis. The low frequency of mitosis was definitive for a diagnosis of infantile myofibromatosis. We present a cutaneous solitary-type case of infantile myofibromatosis. Following ...
