| Abstract: | A 3-week-old, female infant, developed severe bilateral shoulderpain in association with large, symmetrical, lytic lesions inthe proximal humeri. The radiological appearance was suggestiveof infantile myofibromatosis and bone biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.She subsequently made a complete recovery. This uncommon conditionis infrequently confined to bone and except in the presenceof obvious pathological fracture, severe pain has not previouslybeen reported.
