| Popis: | Infantile soft tissue tumors of the head are very rare and the majority of them are myofibromas. The authors present the case of a 1-day-old boy with a scalp tumor with several distinct histopathological features including myofibroma, hemangiopericytoma, and fibrosarcoma consistent with the diagnosis of composite infantile myofibromatosis. Genetic testing was negative for trisomy 17, translocation (12; 15), FUS, and ETV6 translocations. Despite the ominous histopathological features, the clinical course was benign. The authors review here available literature concerning current concepts of making the diagnosis of composite infantile myofibromatosis and discuss treatment options. |
