| Popis: | Infantile myofibroma is an uncommon fibrous tumour of infancy, usually present at birth. It is a rare cause of child airway obstruction, with only one neonatal case reported. We report an eight months age case which was referred to our Unit for increasing respiratory distress. CT scan showed a well defined margins mass measuring 7 × 5 × 5 cm arising from the left parapharyngeal space and occupying the oropharynx. We performed a complete surgical resection through a transoral approach with no events during the surgery. The patient has been followed-up by the first author for five years with no signs of recurrence or sequelaes. |
