Intracranial solitary-type infantile myofibromatosis

Childs Nerv Syst. 1993 Jul;9(4):246-9. doi: 10.1007/BF00303579.

Abstract

An unusual case of infantile myofibromatosis of the solitary type occurring in an intracranial location in a 48-day-old female infant is presented. To our knowledge, there are no other descriptions in the literature of infantile myofibromatosis with exclusively intracranial involvement. The immunohistochemical and electron microscopic findings confirm the myofibroblastic origin of the proliferation.
