“…Lin et £11. believe that the cells originate from smooth muscles; other researchers find similarities with the histological characteristics of hemangiopericytoma, while electron microscope investigation has revealed fibroblasts and smooth muscle type cells, a fact which sustains the view of hamartomatosis (15)(16)(17). On the basis of clinical characteristics, these cells were later identified as myofibroblasts.…”

Infantile myofibromatosis is an unusual condition generally presenting in the newborn period. The case being reported is that of a female newborn who had multiple lesions that involved skin, subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscles, bone, and lungs. The disease was diagnosed because of the easily palpable skin tumors and subcutaneous nodules that were obvious immediately after birth. The diagnosis was established by histopathological examination of one nodule that showed a spindle‐celled mesenchymatogenic lesion demonstrating the morphological and immuno‐phenotype characteristics of myofibroblastic differentiation. The histologic picture, combined with the clinical manifestations and the imaging findings, are consistent with infantile myofibromatosis. The physical condition of the newborn was excellent and remains so six months later. The tumors of the skin and the subcutaneous nodules have gradually regressed without therapy. At the age of six months, four (4) nodules are palpable; the infant is under continuous observation.

“…The second form (infantile myofibromatosis) is located in the head, neck and trunk [49]. Sites of bone involvement are the femur, the tibia, the ribs, the spine and the pelvis [11,50], as well as the metaphyseal regions of the long bones. The bone lesions consist of eccentric or geographic lytic areas with sclerotic rim [50].…”

“…La seconda forma (miofibromatosi infantile) si localizza invece a livello di testa, collo e tronco [49]. Sedi di coinvolgimento osseo sono femori, tibia, coste, colonna vertebrale e pelvi [11,50], ma comunemente vengono interessate la regione della metafisi delle ossa lunghe. Le lesioni ossee sono spesso sostenute da aree osteolitiche eccentriche o a carta geografica con orletto sclerotico perilesionale [50].…”

The purpose of this paper was to illustrate the role of diagnostic imaging in superficial and deep fibromatosis through a review of the use of different imaging modalities, including radiography, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiography and scintigraphy. In particular, in agreement with published data, it emphasises the crucial role of MRI as the primary modality providing the information needed for management decisions, preoperative planning and follow-up of these lesions.

What is believed to be the first reported case of congenital generalized fibromatosis in an African infant is described. Features in our patient, which were not noted in previous reports of the disease, include gingival hypertrophy, ankylosis of joints, skeletal hyperostosis, and lymphatic dilation of the ileal villi. Corticosteroid therapy was tried in the patient, but did not produce any beneficial effect.
