| Abstract: | Infantile myofibromatosis is a mesenchymal tumor most commonly seen in infancy. The tumors have a variable appearance on
CT/MR and often simulate a more aggressive neoplasm. This report describes CT/MR findings in cases of infantile myofibromatosis
with pathologic correlation. Discussion into the success of imaging in suggesting the correct diagnosis is also addressed.
Infantile myofibromatosis is a mesenchymal disorder of infancy characterized by the presence of tumorous nodules in the skin,
subcutaneous tissue, muscle, viscera, and bone. Cases of solitary and multiple lesions have been described. We present the
clinical, histologic, and radiographic findings of one case of the solitary form of infantile myofibromatosis that was recently
diagnosed at our hospital. |
