  • Title: Solitary infantile myofibroma compromising the airway.
    Author: Eze N, Pitkin L, Crowley S, Wilson P, Daya H.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol; 2004 Dec; 68(12):1533-7. PubMed ID: 15533567.
    Abstract:
    Infantile myofibromatosis is an uncommon and benign condition presenting in the neonatal period. It is self-limiting disease that may present as a localised or generalised process. Various examples of this entity have been reported in the literature. This report describes a neonate with a rapidly growing oropharyngeal lesion obstructing the airway that had the typical histological features of an infantile myofibroma. This case report highlights that a solitary myofibroma may be incredibly extensive making complete excision impossible and can be particularly challenging to manage in terms of airway stabilisation.
