Solitäre infantile Myofibromatose des Os sacrum

Abstract

The infantile myofibromatosis is the most common fibrous tumor of infancy. One may find solitary lesions of dermal, visceral, musculoskeletal and subcutaneous tissues. Multiple lesions without visceral involvement generally take a benign course. Because the lesion is commonly known only to pathologists, infantile myofibromatosis is often misdiagnosed and underreported. Therefore we present a review of the pathology and symptoms of infantile myofibromatosis together with a case report of a solitary lesion of bone.

Spinal Canal Involvement in Solitary Infantile Myofibromatosis: Case Report

“…Infantile myofibromatosis involving the spinal canal is very rare; 11 cases have been reported so far in the literature including 4 cases of the solitary form and a single case of intramedullary solitary form (►Table 1). [3][4][5][6] To the best of our knowledge, we are reporting second case of intramedullary solitary type IM localized within the spinal cord without any visceral involvement. The etiology and pathogenesis of IM are still obscure.…”
