  • Title: Congenital multiple fibromatosis (infantile myofibromatosis).
    Author: Burgess LP, Quilligan JJ, Moe RD, Lepore ML, Yim DW.
    Journal: Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg; 1988 Feb; 114(2):207-9. PubMed ID: 3337781.
    Abstract:
    A female newborn had a rare case of congenital multiple fibromatosis, consisting of multiple fibrous lesions that histologically resemble myofibromas. Bony and soft-tissue lesions usually undergo spontaneous resolution, but excision may be required if vital structures are compromised as was the case in this patient. When the lesions involve the viscera in a generalized form of the disease, the result is often fatal.
