Imaging features of myofibroma in children

Objective:The purpose of this study was to analyze the imaging features of myofibroma in children,so as to improve the diagnosis level of this disease.Methods:The data of 16 children with myofibroma confirmed by surgery and pathology from January 2010 to May 2020 in Hunan Children's Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.12 cases underwent plain CT scan,of which 9 cases underwent contrast enhanced(CE)-CT scan;5 cases underwent MRI plain scan,of which 4 cases underwent CE-MRI scan.The location,number,size,shape,boundary,bone invasion,density/signal and enhancement of myofibroma were observed and analyzed.Results:A total of 32 lesions were detected in 16 cases of myofibroma,including 2 cases with multiple lesions(6 and 12 lesions,respectively).The lesions located in head and neck in 6 cases,in limbs in 5 cases,in trunk in two cases,in bone in 2 cases(including one case with multiple lesions),and one case had multiple lesions located in limb and trunk.14 cases had solitary mass,and 2 had multicentric lesions;round mass was found in 9 cases,and irregular mass in 7 cases;clear border in 5 cases and blurred boundary in 11 cases;2 cases had bone invasion.On plain CT images,8 cases showed low or slightly low density,one case showed slightly high density,and 3 cases showed mixed density.On CE-CT scan,5 cases showed slightly uneven enhancement,4 cases showed significantly uneven enhancement.On MR T₁WI,3 cases showed equal or low signal,2 cases showed equal high signal;and on T₂WI,4 cases showed high and low mixed signal and one case showed slightly high signal;on CE-MRI scan,4 cases showed significantly uneven enhancement.In follow-ups after operation,tumor recurrence was found in 2 cases.Conclusion:Children's myofibroma is a rare soft tissue tumor with certain characteristic CT and MRI findings.
