Abstract
Infantile myofibromatosis is the most common fibrous tumor of infancy and early childhood. It typically occurs in skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, bone, and/or viscera. In patients without visceral involvement, the prognosis is excellent, generally with spontaneous regression of the tumor nodules in 1 to 2 years [1]. However, they show unfavorable prognosis within the first few months of life if there is visceral involvement [1]. Intracranial involvement is rare, and to our knowledge, only 17 such cases have been reported [1–15]. Although lesions usually arise from the dura [16] and grow in one direction, either epidural or subdural, in our case, there was equal growth epidurally and subdurally. Spontaneous regression occurred at the same time as that of a lumbar lesion 3 months after biopsy. This unique course has never been reported, and the rate of regression in this case was remarkable.
