| Abstract: | We present a case of solitary infantile myofibromatosis of the skull in a 3-month-old boy. A right parietal subcutaneous
lump was found at birth, and it increased in size over the ensuing 3 months. Surgery was performed, and a diagnosis of myofibromatosis
was confirmed histopathologically. Solitary myofibromatosis of the skull is extremely rare. The radiographical, CT, and MR
appearances, as well as histopathological findings, are described in this article.
