[An isolated intestinal form of infantile myofibromatosis].
Infantile myofibromatosis is the most common form of fibromatosis in children. It can be solitary, mainly affecting the bone or soft tissues, or multicentric with the possibility of visceral involvement. Solitary forms of visceral localization are exceedingly rare. The authors report the observation of a newborn female infant, with solitary jejunal infantile myofibromatosis which after reviewing relevant litterature on the subject appears to be the sixth case of its kind. This form must be considered in the differential diagnosis of the neonatal intestinal obstruction.
