A Case of Infantile Myofibromatosis

Abstract

We report on a 1-year-old boy who was referred to our hospital at the age of 3 months due to his proliferating firm nodules. A biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of IM was established by histological examination. CT scan revealed some nodules in his lung and kidney. As both the solitary and the multicentric variety without visceral involvement carry a good prognosis with spontaneous regression of the lesions, whereas patients with involvement of vital viscera have a high mortality, we took some treatment with chemotherapy into consideration. However, he had no clinical symptom and had a normal physical and laboratory examination, so we follow him without antitumour therapy.
