Abstract
Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is a proliferative disorder characterized by the development of single or multiple nodular lesions arising from cutaneous, subcutaneous, muscular, bone or visceral structures. This proliferation may occur at any anatomical site, but in 30% of the cases it involves the head and neck. We report here three cases of head and neck IM occurring in young children and presenting as solitary lesions. The clinical heterogeneity and the misleading histopathological appearances can make the diagnosis difficult. The treatment is surgical but the low rate of recurrence and the possibility of spontaneous tumoral regression may lead to conservative surgery or therapeutic abstention.
