Infantile myofibroma: A differential diagnosis of hand tumors during the neonatal period

Abstract

Infantile myofibromas (IMs) are benign, congenital, soft tissue tumors that can present at birth or during infancy in solitary, multicentric or generalized forms. Infantile myofibromatosis is well described in the head and neck but rarely reported on the hand. The treatment is early surgical removal and histopathological evaluation. Allow rate of regression is reported. Visceral involvement and generalized forms are more serious conditions, therefore, it is important to perform radiologic examination to determine if there is distant dissemination of the disease. In this paper, we have presented a case of infantile myofibroma in a 20-day-old female who had a pedunculated skin lesion on the fifth digit of her right hand. This case was unusual in location of origin.
