“…Intracranial involvement is caused by cephalad extension of an extracranial process. The lesions are typically seen in the vicinity of the dura and infiltrate or erode the adjacent calvarium (7). A plasma cell granuloma is an uncommon form of inflammatory pseudotumor of obscure pathogenesis.…”

Intracranial Fibroxanthoma in an Infant: a Case Report

A primary fibroxanthoma of the central nervous system is very rare. We present a case of an infantile fibroxanthoma that arose from the cranial dura mater in a six-month-old girl with US, MRI and PET/CT features that mimicked a meningioma. The tumor appeared as a large, well-circumscribed echogenic mass in the right parieto-occipital area on US. The tumor was seen as isoattenuated to slightly hypoattenuated on pre-contrast CT scan and as hypometabolic on PET/CT. As seen on T2-weighted image, the mass was heterogeneously hyperintense to the gray matter. The mass was isointense on T1-weighted image and homogeneously strongly enhanced on contrast enhanced T1-weighted image.

“…The pathogenesis of generalized fibromatosis still remains unknown, despite reports on association with estrogen receptors (4) . This disease is classified into three types as follows: solitary fibromatosis, congenital generalized fibromatosis without visceral involvement, and congenital generalized fibromatosis with both cutaneous and visceral involvement (5) .…”

Miofibromatose infantil: relato de uma rara doença

A miofibromatose infantil é uma rara doença que tem várias formas de apresentação. Habitualmente, manifesta-se com nódulos subcutâneos, que podem ou não estar associados à presença de nódulos viscerais. Deve-se estar apto a fazer o diagnóstico por meio do exame físico e de imagem, que evidenciarão o padrão das lesões para estadiar/classificar a doença. O tratamento ainda é controverso.

Infantile myofibromatosis is the most common fibrous disorder of infancy and early childhood. It can present in three forms-solitary lesion, multicentric with visceral involvement and multi-centeric without visceral involvement. Intracranial involvement is rare and when it occurs, it is generally extension of extracranial lesion into the intracranial compartment. Here we present a rare case of isolated posterior fossa involvement presenting clinically as congenital facial palsy.
