“…The tumor may arise in a solitary or multicentric form, with similar histopathological findings, but varied clinical features and prognoses (5). Bone lesions are seldom observed with the solitary type (5%), but are common with the multicentric type (17–77%) (10–12).…”

“…IM with visceral involvement may require surgical or medical treatment, including radiotherapy or chemotherapy with vincristine, actinomycin D and cyclophosphamide, together with supportive care (24). However, the literature is unclear on the overall success of these alternative methods (5). In the two patients of the present study, the bone lesions had resulted in pathological fractures and dysfunction of the forearms.…”

“…Subsequent to confirming a diagnosis, chest and abdominal imaging must be performed to evaluate the overall prognosis and to direct treatment (5). The patient should be followed up to assess recurrences and to exclude the manifestation of further nodules characterizing myofibromatosis (21).…”

“…The World Health Organization (WHO), in the 2002 classification of soft tissue tumors, recognized myofibromatosis under the benign category of fibroblastic-myofibroblastic lesions (4). The condition usually presents prior to the age of two years (3), but may be observed in older children and even in adults (5). There are three distinct presentations, solitary, multicentric without visceral involvement and multicentric with visceral involvement.…”

Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is the most common fibrous tumor of infancy. IM may arise in a solitary or multicentric form, with similar histopathological findings, however, the clinical features and prognoses may vary. The solitary form tends to occur predominantly in males and is typically observed in the dermis, subcutis or deep soft tissues. The reported incidence of solitary osseous myofibromatosis is rare. Furthermore, the majority of solitary IM cases of the bone occur in the craniofacial bones, while the occurrence of solitary osseous myofibromatosis on the extremities has been sporadically reported. The present study describes two cases of solitary IM involving the bones of the upper extremities in females who were over two years old. The cases show unusual symptom presentation and the tumor origin is in a rarely observed location. The study discusses the clinical, radiological and pathological features, in addition to the previously described etiology, prognosis and treatment options for this condition.

“…While most common in the head and neck, IM has been reported in virtually all body regions, including orbit, larynx, and brachial plexus. [1][2][3] There are three sub-classifications: solitary (single superficial nodule, 74% of cases), multicentric (multiple nodules in skin, subcutaneous tissues, muscle, and/or bone), and generalized (multicentric with visceral lesions). 3 While most lesions are sporadic, autosomal dominant inheritance with variable penetrance does occur.…”

The subject matter of this chapter comprises the major acquired disorders that affect mainly collagen and elastic tissue. The connective tissue of normal skin is discussed elsewhere. Heritable disorders of connective tissue, such as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, are covered in another chapter, as are disorders of ground substance, such as the mucinoses and mucopolysaccharidoses. In addition, many disorders, including developmental defects, neoplasms and other reactive or scarring conditions, may involve the connective tissues. Although it can be convenient to separate conditions into disorders affecting collagen or elastic tissue, the distinction is somewhat artificial, as changes in these proteins are generally preceded by abnormal metabolism of other matrix components, such as fibronectin or periostin.
