Abstract

Infantile myofibromas are benign congenital soft tissue tumors that may be present at birth or present later during the infant period. They are most often solitary, but can also be multicentric or generalized, and therefore additional radiological processing is required in order to exclude the generalized form. The treatment method is surgical excision followed by pathohistological confirmation. This article describes a case of infantile myofibroma in a term female newborn diagnosed immediately after birth.
