Infantile myofibromatosis

Yonsei Med J. 1989 Dec;30(4):376-82. doi: 10.3349/ymj.1989.30.4.376.

Abstract

We report a case of infantile myofibromatosis in a male infant with involvement of the lungs and subcutaneous tissue. We studied our case by light microscopy, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. The results reveal that this entity is of a myofibroblastic nature. We reviewed 165 cases including our case. We believe this is the first report in Korea of infantile myofibromatosis with pulmonary involvement.
