Le Fibromatosis colli: une tumeur cervicale rare du nourrisson

Abstract

Le fibromatosis colli ou pseudotumeur infantile du muscle sternocléidomastoïdien est une cause rare de masse cervicale bénigne du nouveau-né et du nourrisson. L´étude a concerné tous les patients admis pour une tuméfaction cervicale et chez qui le diagnostic de fibromatosis colli a été posé de mars 2016 à février 2020. Cinq patients ont été retenus. La tuméfaction cervicale est apparue au cours du premier mois de vie chez tous nos patients. Le diagnostic de fibromatosis colli a été posé à l´échographie. Tous les patients ont bénéficié d´un traitement conservateur. Le fibromatosis colli est une cause relativement rare de masse cervicale du nouveau-né et du nourrisson.
