Hip dislocation caused by infantile myofibromatosis.
An unusual case of newborn unilateral dislocated hip is presented. The condition was refractory to conservative treatment. The cause was found during surgery at the age of 1 month: the adductors were replaced by myofibromatosis. The tumor was excised and at follow-up a normal hip was noted.
