Popis: Fibromatosis colli is a benign swelling involving sternocleidomastoid muscle. It is usually seen in neonatal age group. The history of prolonged labor or difficult delivery may be present in many cases. The presentation usually is asymptomatic neck swelling or mass in neonates. In some cases, torticollis may be present. The diagnosis is usually done by ultrasound which may typically show fusiform and thickened sternocleidomastoid muscle on the affected side.
