Pediatr Radiol. 1993;23(3):189-94. doi: 10.1007/BF02013829.

Abstract

Infantile myofibromatosis is an unusual condition generally presenting in the newborn period. It may be solitary or multicentric. Sites involved include skin and subcutaneous tissues, muscle, bones and viscera. Nine cases are presented, including one case in an identical twin whose co-twin remained asymptomatic. The radiological features and differential diagnosis are discussed.
